Howdy folks,
I've looked everywhere, and can't seem to find anyone that makes any sliders for the CRF110. My biggest issue really is the axle sliders. Since the axles for this bike are not hollow, I can't just buy a kit for another bike and just make it work, nor can I just buy a threaded rod and make my own. Has anyone seen a slider kit for this bike, or has been able to make up a set of their own? The stock axle also isn't long enough to be used as the mount for the sliders.
The only idea so far that will work is to buy a internally threaded rod that will span the distance from fork to fork and put a bolt through a slider puck to fasten it to what would be the new axle. I'm looking for an alternative to that, as this idea will run me about $200+ just to see if it'll work. The threaded rod is $157 all on its own (made to order at mcmaster-carr).
Would a normal (externally) threaded rod work as an axle? I figured it for sure needed to be smooth in the middle to allow for better rotation of the wheel.
Does anyone have any ideas?
