Yes, 3 of my friends already have done it. Hadley is pretty bad im told, i didnt have to do that much for an industry 9 wheel. From what im told (not officially) any wheel that isnt a DT swiss, or similar will NOT fit. You have to drill the frame

That is what Specialized recommended I do.

I am using Sun Ringle hubs so I filed down the outer sleeve on the hub (which is replaceable) rather than grind down my brand new hub.

It appears the frame is designed around a hub with a 20mm outer diameter on the hub.

Once I get a replacement end cap from Sun Ringle I'll have it machined down so it looks nicer and fits better than the file jobed one.

I just checked the Hope Pro 2's I'll be using. They're a 20mm outer axle diameter.

Not entirely true. Hopes work just fine.

I had to take the endcaps on my no tubes ZTR hubs down on the late to make them fit. I'd suggest milling your endcaps down before machining the frame??

[jnooth]

anybody know if Chris Kings will fit?

Have both the hubs and the frame on order. cant wait till it can be built up!!!

My American Classics are a tight fit.....

[ustemuf]

i ended up just scraping the paint off the inside of the frame, but i dremeled the hub end cap instead of messing with the frame. there is a weld right next to the spot so i didnt wanna screw that up.

i dremeled probably 2mm off the diameter of the hub end cap in order for it to fit. i used one of the drill-type looking bits and just held it on the end cap and let it spin with the dremel while it shaved it off.

for reference - i used a penny and put it on top of the hub end cap (hadley) and sharpie marked around the edge and it ended up being just about the perfect size for the axle to go in smoothly and for everything to line up.

but BOY was it worth it.. this bike f'n RIPS!!!!!

[demo 9]

Transcend, i dremoled the frame, because for me, i have other wheels i can run, so rather than grind every set of wheels that may end up on it, i grinded the frame, which wasnt all that much. Rumor has it a new link will be released in late summer, that will address these issues.
