Title: 14mm Press In's W/ Empi Wide 5's
Post by: James Buchan on January 10, 2007, 11:57:48 AM

Is anyone running knock-off 5 spokes with press in 14mm studs? If so any clearence issues and what type of nut is it (ball seat etc)

Thanks

With the 5 spokes I had on the notch last summer, I just used the thread in wheel studs with some loctite. IIRC the nuts were shouldered. Shane has them now, hardware and all.

I have 5 spokes on the 64 with threaded/loctited studs...they use washers under the nuts.

Those threaded ones are 12mm though, i've now gone to 14mm - I am just going to give it a try and see what happens - I'll report back...
