What do you guys think?

I have 2002 Jr T's with 30mm stanchions and standard QR. I have a DH wheelset with a solid 10mm through axel for the front. It does have a qr but the dropouts sit on the axle not like a normal qr front hub. I am using an 8" rotor too.

I finally have the springs and oild dialed. I like the fork.

I have rode all season hitting jumps and drops without the QR even loosening up. I check it beofre every ride.

Lately I have been getting concerned that I should be riding 20mm through axle wheel and fork.

Maybe a bit of elaboration on how the axle does sit in the dropouts? Front QR hubs and forks normally have a 9mm axle, what modifications have you made? A 20mm axle is always a good thing to consider when using large rotors, or hard riding in general.

Check ou the pics. I assume it is 10mm. I have not made any changes. This wheel is circa 2001. The axle barely fits in the drop outs.

Just keep checking and it should be fine... if u notice anything weird though, get a 20mm. Or just get a 20mm, it'll be more reliable :cool:
