I just tried to install the adapter today on my DB30R (new style frame) and am struggling to get the parts to fit right. It's a beautifully machined item, and fits the sprockets and hub perfectly, but am struggling with bolt clearances.
The adapter is thicker than the stock 70 tooth sprocket, so the bolts to the hub now stick out just far enough that they hit the frame, and I need to put a washer on the axle as a spacer to get clearance. Does this not happen on the old style frame? or am I supposed to not use the stock lock washers with these bolts to make clearance?
but I also apparently don't have the right types of bolts to hold the split sprocket to the adapter, the bolt heads and nuts stick out too far and hit the chain guard bracket. What nuts and bolts are you guys using that have a very shallow head to avoid any interference? where are you getting them from?
thanks!
