If you happen to know what wheel bearings the front wheel uses, you can also use the bearing number off of that to get a diameter for the axle that should be used. Thread pitch doesn't matter so much, because you can usually just order a set or get a new lock nut to match.

If your current axle is 5mm shorter,get us a measurement of its length and diameter and that will give us an idea of what you need,,, 268mm total length end to end 259mm inside washer to end (axle minus the nut) 90GTVertThe bolt is an M10 and the bearing used is a 6300zz

Just placed an order for a 260mm brake rotor. And I'm gonna try to source an M10 270mm bolt here locally.

You may need to compromise more on the bolt length, like going up to 300mm for example. At least that what it looks like here in the US market from a real quick search. If you have trouble sourcing something in M10, you could see how availability is with M12, but that would take a little effort. The wheel bearings would have to change from 6300 (10x35x11) to 6202 (12x35x11) and fork holes may have to be enlarged to accept 12mm.

Looks like your forks protrude more where the bracket attaches kicking the caliper out even farther than normal. I think a new oversize disc will clean that up nicely though. I’ve been using the NCY axles but in 12mm. There is a 10mm but you’ll have to call Brandon, Carter, or Chris and ask the length on the 10 because all it says is the 12mm is long and the 10mm is short. There electroplated and kinda don’t match anything that’s not electroplated. But there strong. scooterswapshop.com/products/ncy-ruckus-12mm-axle?_pos=1&_sid=fb0b77ae8&_ss=r&variant=6775682501

Looking at the fork install pics,I'd just get some blue loctite thread lock and be done with it..You could even paint a small 'witness mark' on the nut and fork leg to see at a glance that all is still torqued properly..We use torque seal in aviation a lot to see whats getting loose; www.youtube.com/watch?v=QfzGy7fdyCQ

90GTVert May I ask you something... I saw in your 86cc video that you use the same caliper as I have. (RPM) I am not there yet but I was wondering how do you bleed that thing? There are 2 bleeder nipples, one on top of the banjo screw and one is on the rear of the caliper facing the wheel.

There are 2 bleeder nipples, one on top of the banjo screw and one is on the rear of the caliper facing the wheel. Pretty much like bleeding any other caliper, but with 1 extra step. I just bled it like normal with the front bleeder. Thought maybe I'd get lucky and that would do it. The brake lever wasn't solid so I bled with the rear bleeder quickly and then it felt good.

It's been a while since I posted an update but it is time to introduce the final product. Regarding the axle bolt, I just used the same one as I use on my Prebug, which is the bolt from a 2T Zuma. I added some Loctite and markings to keep an eye on it just in case it gets loose. I had the issue with the brake setup, meaning parts where not matching. Brake disc (220mm) was too small, so I got me a 260mm disc which is a perfect fit. No modification were necessary. I also added some carbon-style wrap around the fork legs for better looks and +1hp I haven't fired her up in little over a year and was not sure if I would encounter any issues but all went fine and she fired right up after I got the juice flowing through the system with a few kicks. Totally forgot how friggin loud she is. The large battery I used was toast since I haven't been using or recharging it for 1 year. But I had a small YTX-4LBS laying around which is enough to get her starting. The only thing now left is to get her registered again and mount some plates and a new battery. Just in time for the nice weather season before it starts to rain here in June. As always some pictures to close it up.

Awesome , i had a buddy made his own axle. I will ask him where he bought he rod. I love your build, if you don't mind me asking where did you got the disc and the caliper from ? I am putting Aerox wheels on Malaguti F12 right now, but with the original F12 fork which is 12mm, i ordered 12x35x11 Bearings, so hopefully i will be able to fit it like that. Keep it going man !

I wish we had those in the states.

Thanks for the kind comments. krisgenchev I got all the front brake parts from aliexpress. The RPM caliper the caliper braket and the brake disc. I'll try to find the products again and send you the links. Kenho21 You can sometimes find Aerox wheels here in Japan but they're friggin expensive. Like $300 per wheel. The wheels on my Jog I bought from a member here in the forum including bare Aerox engine for a very fair price. I think I postet about it in this build thread here. The Aerox wheels on my Prebug I got from ebay UK, there you can find a lot. I paid like 60 GBP ($75) for the wheels and 90 GBP ($113) for shipping about 1 year ago.

Either way that sounds like a great deal to me! I’m specifically looking for a 100cc rear wheel though. I’ll have to keep an eye on eBay UK.

Kenho21Both sets are from a 50cc Aerox. I use front/rear brake discs on my Jog and front disc brake rear drum on my Prebug.

This is going to be a lot of fun in the summer. Let us know how you get on with the brakes. I want to upgrade mine. But I'm looking at over £100 just for a stage 6 or similar caliper!
