I’d be interested too.
That’s a really great idea!
So if I get this right I need a set of ultralights and two Duncan spacers and two a size bearings and two longer hex head bolts. I know there’s a novus at home with those parts in it. Maybe not the bolt but I’ve got everything else. I’m on it.
Yep! You’ll have to get a shorter axle too, M4x0.7 12mm, the SEs use 16mm axles. I’d recommend using the thinnest Duncan spacers possible to not add too much avoidable weight. The spacers from the Duncan Speed Beetle are the easiest to find and very thin. Also make sure the hex bolt you use has a fairly small head diameter so it doesn’t make contact with the hubstacks. I’d recommend a fairly short length too, probably 6mm or so should be more than enough. Careful removing the original axle from the side effect. It’s hard to not damage the side effect itself doing so. Rubber pliers are a must, you can also heat up the side effect to melt the red loctite holding the axle in place.
Yes Sir, you’ve done this before, haven’t you. All kidding aside thanks for the pro tips!
Well, looks like i’m stopping by the hardware store for some screws after work.
Won’t be perfect haha, they probably won’t feel as smooth as the actual RSMs since there’s no way to perfectly center the spacer.
I went a different route and threw some modified PGM posts on the ultra lights.
Edit: I think this is a good solution to the issue with centering the spacer too @yoyospirit - Not really much vibe.
Quick n dirty write up?
I can see myself throwing some pliers in the wall
Very nice btw
- Cut down the bottom of the PGM posts so they’re flat (I’ll probably cut them down even more so the posts are shorter).
- Drill through the top of the ultra lights so an axle will fit through.
- Screw the post and ultra lights together with short axle and add the necessary parts.
I take that, and raise it with these!
Totally should! Could fix yoyos for people too then haha
Also by using a hex head screw you completely bypass the factory patent.
That’s music to my ears!
What’s up with the marks on the left one? I checked them through before packaging them up and they were in perfect condition. Do ya need a replacement half?
Nah it’s fine, USPS probably thought it was flat and tried to send it through the “flat” machine. That happened to @irdaprez and me once with side effects as well.
At least you sent it in a padded envelope so it survived! I used a plain envelope which was not a good idea… he ended up with an empty envelope as the purple SEs squirted out the side probably thanks to the rollers on the machine.
I’d love a pair of these myself!
EDIT:
VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV
Sorry, guys, not looking to make them to sell!
