AD 990 Plate
« on: January 17, 2012, 11:02 PM »
I have one of these to put on my 09 Freestyler, how tight can I do this up on the forks without damaging them? If I do it too tight would it crush the tube?

Cheers

Do it decently tight and add jubilee clips on both arms - the bugger will never move then :)

So don't do it too tight, just overnip it?

Do it up as tight as you'd fix a caliper brake onto forks, then secure the plate as the others have said. I used big fat zip ties on mine.

Yeah I'm gonna use clear cable ties as jubilee clips will look a bit crap.

Make sure the cable ties are beefy then, otherwise you'll still get movement. I like jubilee's = midschool flavour :)

Just finished putting it on with no ties or clips and it isn't moving, will see how it goes!

No bud, it'll feel fine in the workshop, but will misbehave when you ride it. Especially if it only has a 6mm bolt holding it on. I've seen loads of them snap. The braking effort of an AD style brake is so great it'll overwhelm most fixings.

Grab yourself some jubilee clips or big fat zip ties  ;)
