Vert X smx v2 Peg compatable?

[stephenchugimp]

I have lucky NW forks and one hole for the axle in smaller than the other. I'm not talking about grade 8 bolts with locknuts but the standard razor pro and ultra pro screw in axles. You can't put and pegs on them (like all the pegs say on inward, that they will not fit lucky forks) I know vertx is not lucky but what i've seen is that they have similar designs. Does the Vertx smx v2 have the same size axle holes on each side, or one of them is a tad smaller. I want the smx forks from vertx because i've had problems with lucky before, but only if they work with pegs.

Probably doesn't. You could just drill it out.

 

[stephenchugimp]

Then if you're off by the slightest bit you risk having a wobbly or loose axle.

my vertx smx v2 could run pegs, just need a longer axle than normal and spacers.

I wouldn't do that, the longer your peg goes out, the easier it bends. I already have a problem with bending front axles.
But you can make tilt pegs fit, just grind the outer diameter of the peg down until it just barely fits into the fork. Then you can tighten it down and it will squeeze in, it's super solid.

use the vertx pegs no longer axle required and no spcaers

 

[Dom Marconi]

Or what he said.

I have inward pegs and they work fine. The holes are the same size on both sides of the fork. All I had to do was grind my peg down so that it would fit in the little hole of the fork.

 

[RiccardoM]

Are the vertx pegs out yet?

 

[brody01134]

yes they are

 

[Kieran Mayhew]

They are on the website and in a few retail shops.

 

[RiccardoM]

In the uk?

i use tilt chromos with mine no problem.

 

[R-Dubya]

I use Chromos too. I use a bearing spacer, it works perfect. The old "one hole bigger than the other" was an old ass design decision by Lucky that made it easier to run the Razor style axles that they included with the forks. That was a while ago, the first batch of original Lucky SMXs had that, but ever since then, none of the Lucky forks have, and the VertX forks definitely don't.

 

[blackscootdawg]

so i can run tilt chromos w/o spacers on them?
im getting the 0 offset version

 

[BrandonWeir]

If you read the post above, you'd see the answer is yes.

 

[blackscootdawg]

well, i heard 2 different things in above posts. i just wanted to be shure

 

[BrandonWeir]

It'll work.

i use QCS plastic pegs and i run a bearing spacer. perfect
