yoyo.
anybody know if the KH '04 bolts will fit into a '06 Torker DX hub for
the nub removal process?

Just a thought, but if you aren't sure which bit is removed, and if you
don't know if it's necessary, then maybe you could try not attacking
your cranks with power tools for dubious benefit?

Ok, I think I get it. After the "denubbing", will the original axle bolt
go "in" the extra depth that would then be added with the removal of
the nub, orwould I need tocut the axle bolt threads down?
Also, the crank in that link pic appears to have been filed only HALF
way 'round. My torker dx cranks have that "lip" going all the way
around where the axle bolt goes. Do you use a regular grinding wheel?

I had a metal shop do mine for $10 with a milling machine. Others have
used a hacksaw. On a Summit/KH you dont need to cut the '04 KH bolts
down. The whole nub should be cut down as far as the weld. The surface
needs to be flat and true so the bolt will sit evenly on it.
The link 3 posts up clearly shows what the nub is. I would think the
the round headed KH bolt would work in the Torker as it's a standard
crank bolt, but not sure. Darren has the bolts.

thanks for the info, i already knew about denubbing for some time but
have put it off as the effect of the nubs on the torker havent got in
my way too many times.
i had already asked darren about the bolts and he said he could supply
me, however the cost of shipping them from canada to new zealand makes
it not so worthwhile, udcUk sells them also and udcNZ said that they
would get some for me from udcUK in the next lot of stuff that is sent
over.

anyways, off to photograph some stuff 🙂
