Fingers crossed if summer schedule will allow it. Love riding in NE Oregon!

I'm assuming it's a typo in the first post, and we'd be leaving Hood River Thursday, yes?

R1 fork prices have skyrocketed since Xmas--is everyone doing this mod? :lol:

Donny,

If you are using the R1 front wheel you will need to make or source spacers for the axle - the R1 tripleclamps are 210mm fork centre to fork centre, whereas the CBR/RC51 triples are 214mm.

You'll need a 2mm spacer for each side of the front wheel. The axle diameter is 22mm.

It follows that you also need to space the brake calipers* in by 2mm on each side so they line up with the rotors.

With the wider spacing on the RC/CBR triples, is it still possible to use the R1 axle? I'm thinking of sticking with the R1 front wheel as I might go with the radial brake front end.

What did you decide to use for bars?

Have any pics?

Thanks.
