Fit Aitken S3.5 is BACK

<< < (2/5) > >>

Patty:
I got one, 21’’ in tan. Beautiful frame with die cut stickers. I’ve had a hell of a time getting the backend straight though, it pulls real hard to the drive side when you even slightly tighten the bolts, it’s like it’s off or something.

weedbix:
The dropouts might not be parallel at hub width. Are you running a hub guard that takes up more (or less) axle than the hardware it's replacing?

Does Fit make a hub guard that does this that it might have made their frame wider than 110mm for perhaps? Like when FBM and Profile made stuff that wasn't 110mm and caused this problem (and was responsible for some of the notorious Profile hub wobble)

Patty:
No hubguard, odyssey Antiguan with 3/8s axle. I just bought those Simple wheel slammers, it did the trick perfectly for chain tension, the wheel is still pulled towards the drive side. I sold a T1 SFA for this frame! Whatever...bike check tomorrow

chubbs:
I almost posted this in hopes dick would see this and buy another one, considering I still have his old frame.

That being said, they didn't re-release them in 20.5, kids these days all run longer frames?

weedbix:
Are the wheel slammer things on the outside of the dropouts?

Is your wheel dished?
