I bought a handful of these for my bicycles, and am selling the balance.
If you are unaware, most of Rockshox's "trail" forks have the dropouts milled extra-large for proprietary (well, I'll be fair. DT Swiss makes them, too) end caps to stiffen(?) the fork. I personally am not using that nonsense, and I'm willing to bet you aren't, either. There is, however , a problem: it makes it harder than it should be to install the through-axle, as the hub shoots right past where it needs to be. Enter this product--a precisely sized bit of metal with VHB tape on it (the stuff they use to attach trim flashing on cars) that replaces the metal that SRAM decided to remove. Clean the surface to be mated with high-test alcohol, position, and stick in place. Rejoice in not having to futz with aligning the hub anymore.
I've got 9 of these, since I bought extras. I am happy to sell them at $9 a piece, and I'll even ship it for free, first-class in an envelope. Otherwise, as usual, I can meet up at Hartshorne/Huber/Allaire, days/times TBD.
Thanks for looking.
*Clarification* $9 a pack (two)
