But they're not the correct size!

One more time: YOU NEED 10 X 12MM!

 

[maggy.apo]

yes I understood that
I need 10x12mm, but l cant find that one brand on ebay with the size I need

Exactly, that's why I gave you a link where to get one above.

My bad ! Didn't realise they only do 14x10. Lookes at their site but torque arms aren't mentioned at all, seems they only sell them on e-bay.

so I have my bike back and I think the new aluminium fork provides from the LBS looks better, I am waiting for the torque arms to arrive
what do tou think guys? is a thicker aluminiun (still aluminium of course) but I think with the torque arm it will be safe


I know he put the wheel wrong, can get water to the motor in that way, I will change it when I install the torque, he put a the washers in wrong position as well, and also a weird like "plastic washer" to fill the gap
Hope to finish the proper installation of the wheel when the torque arrive but so far to me this fork have a chance

Plastic washers have no place in the motor wheel instillation, replace it with a12mm one.

They look like steel forks to me, not aluminium. Test them with a magnet.

He's added the spacer to keep the motor off the fork because the drop-outs are on the centre-line, not inboard. You must replace the spacer with proper metal ones and hope that the forks aren't too splayed to lock their movement.

i just tried the magnets of my PAS disc near the fork and zzzzzttt! attraction! and in the same way I tried on the frame and same,
But yeah, the fork have more attraction force than the frame so maybe thats a clue this new fork is steel
I will install my torque arms soon and hopefully all will be good

The easy fixing point to anchor a T/A would be to drill a hole in it to line up with M/G stay anchor point with the M5 Allen bolt above in the pic.

hey guys, after watch some videos and see lots of photos on internet I tried to install my torque arm,
first, I put the wheel in correct position, i took off that "plastic spacer" I put a C washer there but I think I should not do that right? or can I?
I noticed I can add just one of those otherwise i need to kind of pull to make the wheel fit inside
I am super confuse about what side should be the torque arm, and washers and spacers orders
Looks like I will need one more visit to a hardware store
I didnt finish this installation because I got confuse with so many opinion
the good thing is I noticed and feel the fork is sturdy steel, anyways I wan to put these arms

Torque arm can go on either side. To be really safe, I put one either side.

 

[maggy.apo]

should I put in the side where the motor is more close to the fork maybe the anti rotation washer after the first washer, so will be
wheel, washer, anti rotation washer, fork , torque arm, nut
and in the other side will be
wheel, washer, fork, anti rotation washer, torque arm, nut
