What bike do you use it for?/If it's an NC30 do the pins that are supplied fit?

Seems incredibly cheap, or are the ones in the UK for £60-odd just a rip-off? The pins aren't quite big enough for an NC35, and I'm led to believe that the diameter of the stem on a 30 is bigger still. They still work with a smaller pin, it's just a little sloppy.

I bought one and used it for the first time today. The build quality is very good but the pins supplied are nowhere near big enough! I have had to use the biggest pin supplied with a 21mm socket slipped over that just to make it fit.
The socket is a perfect fit into the stem so just need to get it welded permanently to the pin to sort it properly. (or just buy a bigger pin that fits!)

Might message them, see if they can turn up a bigger pin.

Still need to know the size though....

Monkey

Did you get in touch with them about suppling these with a larger pin? What size would you go for, the full 27mm (snug) fit or more like a 26mm to allow for the inevitable rust and crud that will be in there?

If you want any help, the Girlfriend is German and could do the translation if needed ;)
