8mm stubs

[hotrodrob]

Does anyone know if the techno stubs will work with the rpm knuckles with the right bearings

If using the 8mm stubs with the 3.3 spec axles with the right bearings yes it would work, problem is finding the correct size outer bearing. 3.3 spec rpm carriers would require 8x15x5mm outer bearing with the tekno stubs. The inner would stay the same with the 3.3 spec axles.

You can get the bearings from boca but they are pretty pricey. I think I paid $20 for the two bearings needed to run 8mm stubs in my tru-track rear on my revo.

I knew Boca had the bearings but I also knew how much they cost!
Every time I order bearings from Avid I put in a request for them to make the 8x15x5mm bearings but I guess they just don’t have enough requests to see any profit in them yet.
Anytime you guys order from avid there is a bearing size request box you can fill in. They have added a few sizes I have requested over the years so don’t be shy and do request them; they do seem to listen to what we need/want it just takes time and requests.
