does anyone have information about Gt pro forks & why 10mm axels dont fit

[BMXBEN]

Hi i have got a 1984 gt pro nora cup frame & forks but when i tried to fit my mates arayas on it the dropouts on the forks are too narrow to accept the wheel . Does this mean i have to get bullseye type hubs whith the allen key bolts or is there a simple explatation that im just missing cheers

It might have had a spindal with narrow cut outs on it i had this once before i had to file the drop outs a bit

ouch i dont fancy filing them the forks are mint undrilled there must be an explanation

[harris]

coz they are 3/8 slots

[BMXBEN]

i dont remember 3/8 spindles back in the day are they rare

yes it is 3/8 or 10mm axle flat sides needed .doesnt take long to file the axzles a tad

Thats what i meant a spindal with flat sides

Cheers lads so you recon the best thing is to file spindles otherwise ive got the nightmare of finding an old school wheel set with 3/8 spindles ?

[selfpreservation]

3/8 is 10mm (more or less , try to get a front axle that has flat sides rather than butcvheriing the axle youve got now

You need a front axle like this
