Hope 20mm Bolt Thru Adaptors - PICS? HELP REQUIRED PLEASE!

[designer1]

Hi...

Im in the process of converting a hope bigun from Q/R to 20mm bolt through. I purchased the Hope adaptors and attempted to fit...

Now im either losing the plot or somethings not right...as the adapptors dont seem to spead the width of the gap between the fork stantions, meaning the wheel can move from side to side on the axel.

Im guessing ive done something wrong, as i cant seem to work out where those clips go either!

Does anyone have a picture of these fitted please?

Im using all this in conjunction with Rockshox Boxxer forks - any help would be appreciated as im obviously a complete dullard!

Cheers

I'll try and get some pics of mine but it depends what hub it is as there were 2 models of big uns each with a different bolt thru kit, then bulbs and laterally the sport and evo hubs

I have had both the fat centre big un which needs larger bearings and spacers which fall off but are held on by the axle... the later skinny centres had ones which popped into the bearings then the axle went through that and were much easier, pic of the hub and bits would help

Ive taken these pictures which will hopefully show you which hub i have and illustrate the problem....Have i got the wrong kit? If so which kit do i need, please?

The photo's dont show that theres probably 10-15mm of play side to side, with the wheel sliding along the axle.....

Thanks again Hope guru's!

Sorry the pics are quite difficult to see on my phone but from what I can make out you need these....

Your hub lookls like the later skinny centre which needs that style

I think you might have bought the ones below by accident from the shape I can make out in the photo and the circlip thats hanging loose....

Those ones above (2nd ones) are for the Pro 2 which is a much wider hub, would explain the lateral movement....

If you have the top ones the only thing I can think is that somehow you managed to fit the end designed to be push fitted into the hub into the axle hole on the boxxers - but that would not make sense...

I think your right - as i have these:
