GTXR conversion- version 2
-
@lia I can't take credit for the drawing, a friend professionally drafted the design from my scrawlings. Haha.
On another note, I see you're on a couple of discord channels.

I think I'm only in the 1 currently (FloatTown) and it's kinda deserted. Was in another but it was far too chaotic so left not too long after joining. Kinda trying to get off the platform at some point tbh.

Disc Golf Markers
That's way over priced, I have like 5 disc golf markers, and when they aren't giveaways they are like $7 ;)
On a serious note, I wish people would make the revers of this, so I could swap the hub on my Plus with the one on my GT. I only ride my Plus on the street, and wouldn't care about riding it with the GT wheel and tire.
-
@lia Quite empty right?! I got stuck on several ones, no way around it without fecesbook..for that one i refuse to make an account😝
Aka "Vommbat"
-
@biell - yeah, that'd be nice, would let me keep that old Plus rolling. But I suppose adding a spacing shim is a lot easier/cheaper than removing space, and there's probably not too much demand for modified Pluses.
-
@maciak Never having another facebook account. I think it's been a decade since I had one and my only regret is not having easy access to the rest of the community >.>
-
@biell I did the reverse swap and it's on my Plus.
-
@lia I don't post much on the discord anymore, lots of bs talk, not many doers, but there are a few excellent contributors.
-
@lemur Sweet, any chance you would be willing to sell those?
I had thought that a simple ring should work, but then assumed I probably just didn't know anything. You would think something that small should just be thrown in with your disc golf marker as an extra.
-
@biell I'll send you one for free. Just dm me with your shipping address.
-
@lemur - ah, so it's just another shim/spacer ring in a different spot? If you'd be willing to send me one also I'd appreciate it, it would keep that old Plus in action (I already ordered that Adapter Plate from Plastic Spider to do the GT). I'd be happy to PayPal you some cash for your time & effort.
-
@glyph No problem, just dm your address and I'll get it out next week.
-
@lemur -- Interested, too! While I do not have a GT hub to use with one of my Pluses, the hubs should become reasonably available. I appreciate your knowledge and skills!

what can of worms?!XR's got what plants crave!

@notsure -- Visiting my dad's aunt I remember being sent to the basement to get a mason jar of home-canned peaches. And surprising me and making me take notice, on the shelf one of the mason jars was thick inside with white squirming maggots. It made the can-of-worms saying tangible and real to me. I am guessing it was a fairly common occurrence in the winter stores of home-canned goods.

@glyph Gtr custom heavy duty end plate update:
Finally the seal came in for my custom Gt/Xr 6 inch rim conversion end plate. The seal is an oil seal, and as such, is meant to keep oil in , also dirt and moisture out but asserts too much pressure on the axle. Removing the ss tension spring solves the problem.
I used a XR stator as a mockup for the pictures.
I'm running a shim mod now, but waiting on my Enduro tire to come in so I can switch over.
-
@glyph I've got the shims made, I'll get them in the mail shortly.
-
@lemur Thank you, you are too kind!
-
@lemur Thanks!
-
@lemur -- And I add my thank you, too!
