Looking for a +2 or +3 Pro Trax front end. Must be long travel and compatible with a Laeger Narrow frame.
I'll be selling my mint Roll Design front end after I hopefully get a ProTrax
-
Any 250r front end is compatible for a Laeger Narrow front end. There is nothing special about its mounts. To be 50" wide you will need a +4 front end though.

50 wide for an xc bike?
-
That's what im running right now, narrow front with +3's and 4:1 offset. I'm about 47.5 inches. It's perfect width for my riding. I just can't get my geometry figured out, and the brand new tie-rods that came with my Roll's will not work, they are too long
-
50 wide for an xc bike?
Ahh sorry missed that it was for XC.
-
I have a plus 4 protrax on a wide front end Laeger, and it's just shy of 50". I'm not sure what this setup would be with a narrow front end. I'd shoot for +3's and run 4:1 rims. Theoretically, you should be like 46" with this setup.
I think my +4 Rolls with 400ex spindles/4:1 rims put my at 49-49.5" Weird how two different manufacturers measure differently.
-
I ended up using 2.5 Teixeira Techs because I was trapped in the middle & wanted to be around 46.5. Wheels and tires vary from company to company also so its not suprising we all have different combos adding up to different numbers. Burns is correct the parts all interchange I went through this like everyone else also. My tie rods were long also, I had to cut the ends off because they were bottoming out in the ball joint they were very close but they worked once I did that, mine has 04-05 450R spindles also so maybe that was part of it.
-
I have a new set of LSR plus 3 tie rods, they use OEM rod ends. I can measure them if you need them, they are stainless. I might be interested in your arms if you decide to sell them.
What kind of geometry issues are you having?
Issues with my tie-rod length, and my camber adjustment and the top heim-joint jam nut bottoming out...not enough adjustment. I'm gonna post a topic on it in the chassis department.
-
Thats really surprising. I know i have talked to you before about this Tbone. I have no idea why its not paning out. My +4 roll front end (should be the same) doesnt look anything like yours as far as your alignment issues. Mine fits perfectly. I wonder if the previous owner didnt switch out the top a-arms or anything?
Have you contacted Doug Roll? I bet he could help you.
-
I'm curious, did you use the roll king pins or did you buy aftermarket ones? I had similar issues with other companies, there's non enough misalignment with the ASR ones I bought. Tried two different companies, and finally decided to buy new hardware for them. Those pins are like $80 each through RD, but are hand turned then hardened. Just thought I'd throw that out there.
I used the Roll pins brand new, straight out of the plastic wrapping

Just kidding man! Haha
OMG Dan I read the first line of this and I almost crapped myself. You are a terrible person....lol

That's the guy I bought the Predator frame from. He is a little shady with details,like he doesn't mention the axis shock for the cr link is in pieces and blown apart. I could only imagine what the bins of parts have in them for 1700...Good-luck Tbone not trying to steer you away but that guy Darryl thinks he has boxes of gold. Ask Protrax I believe he went and checked out this guys stuff.
On topic now, you might need +2 tierods that's the problem I ran into when going from stock width frame to narrow frame. I had +3 tierods but really needed +2 tie rods to get them aligned.
