I have a question that one of my friends asked me and I drew a blank on. He asked me why the 8" Hayes adaptor wouldn't work on a Marzocchi DJ3 with QR. To mee it looks like the adaptor for a 20mm fork would work on a QR fork. please answer this question cause now it bothers me too.

I don't think there's anything unusual about the DJs but I used to use an 8" rotor on my z1 (qr). It should work.

The adapter from a qr fork will work on a 20mm fork if you shim it. But the adapter for a 20mm fork won't work on a regular qr fork. It's too thick.

well where can you get a qr 8"adapter and i'm also not seeing where it would be too thick

Are you guys sure there is a difference between QR and 20mm? I thought there was only one 8" IS front adapter?

Where you may have gone askew is when you heard that you can't use 8" rotors on a Marz. QR fork b/c it generates too much force.

I'm pretty sure there isn't a difference. I have a DJ fork and used to have a Super T and a QR Marz., and I don't think there's a difference between any of them.

Buy Hope

Actually the adaptor is different, Hayes makes a special one that will work on a QR JrT that I would imagine would work for a DJ3, however I don't think its recommended to use a 8" rotor with a QR.

On a 20mm thru axle front end the disc is roughly 5mm further inboard from the caliper tabs, compared to a QR hub setup.

To put an 8" Hayes on a Marzo QR fork, you need the Psylo Tullio (20mm) 8" adaptor.

He's joking about the hopes...

He secretly hates them. He cries himself to sleep every night.
