Silly Question-Would like some opinions..
 
Hey guys, long story short.. I last weekend stripped a front 1.. and stupidly and in a rush ordered some new Schu Mini pins.. pre-glued. And not massively into 1/10th-1/8th is my area. I forgot these sodding 1/10th's all have different wheel fittments-Bit of a joke.. if you ask me.. but hey ho..

Um, and the schuey's are on Rev-Lite wheels both take the single-pin design.. I was wondering-If it is possible for the front to remove the hex-And shim out the pin-so that the front would work.. I tested it earlier without shims and worked just fiddling by hand.. but wondering if pad out the -Play -Like the rear but the shaft is slightly shorter. Would that work... for just some general use ect.. Or is it a complete no go.. I dont really want to have to fork out for some new rims ect and tyre's. I dont have the time to take them off the rev-lites. Would this work at all? anyone tried it. I will when have spare £ get new ones ect.. but for the time being.. I cant see too much of a issue.. apart from maybe little more wear on bearing ect.. just wanted to seek some help before I tried it.. or did and screwed a wheel as well..

thanks guys!

there is no reson why it wouldn't be ok if its shimed correct

as long as there's enough thread poking out of the wheel I won't see why this wouldn't work tbh

Well, I went ahead anyway.. and gave it a few mins blast on the grass.. and seemed fine. Did few runs and stopped. Checked the wheel slots and there fine no play being created or starting to warp the slot. Yea I luckly has x2 shims which fit perfectly!.. so thats a added bonus.. so looks like I will be racing tomo after all haha.. thanks guys.. then will sort some new rims ect soon.. but should be ok for the time being fingers crossed! :thumbsup:

I just took the hex thing off and wacked it straight onto the pin (same mini pins on rev lites) and haven't had any issues.

Yea thats what i did and just shimmed some of the side play out.. seems fine.. will probably keep them but get new- hex set ect.. just use these for more bashing/garden mucking about..
