How to measure your suspension bolt spacing.



This is important as you need to know this as most kits don 't come with adjustble heights.

Since the seller will ask if you have 52/54/58/50 mm hubs you need to know what to measure.

This thread here gives you a good idea but best to always check.

You should be able to work out where the picture is taken off.

Then measure the distance shown center to center of the two bolts.

You should easily be able to tell the difference between 52/54/58 etc dimentions. If your having trouble doing center to center of bolts then measure the top of one bolt metal to the top of the lower bolt.

But if you mearure in the corner of one bolt top to the flat of another, then you could be a few mm off anyway.

If you want to do it accurately take out the bolts, measure the total size from the top of the upper hole to the bottom of the lower hole, then minus the size of the hole.

Yep I was going to try explaining that. I meant measure the actual bolt thread as such.

Taking the bolts out though is the best way to check though but for the effort you can find outhat it is without and I'm lazy.
