DT-04 uprights in DT-02/3

[skom25]

Hi,

Have any of you installed DT-04 uprights in DT-02/3?

List of parts is known, it is not an issue. I am more interested  if they are Plug & Play in terms of turnbuckles length.

Which wheels fit on front? I am pretty sure that I saw some issues reported on Forum, but I am not sure in which Topic.

DT-04 uprights into DT-02.  Both the D hub and the steering arm can be flipped to adjust the height of the axle and the steering arm to align with the steering tie rods. I went with the highest position for both because the tie rod position is high on DT-02.  Tie rods also need to be shorter as the ball connector is slightly more inboard.

Cool… It’s my first freewheel set up and it’s silky smooth.  End points were a bit tricky just don’t go for full throw or it gets clunky.

@Thommo which wheels did you use? Do you have part #?

[Thommo]

I used CC-01 wheels not buggy wheels.  DF-03 wheels are the Hop Up wheel for DT-04 so they suit buggy.

Thank you!

One more question: I see that you have DT-02. Do you remember length of turnbuckles used for steering?

[Thommo]

You must go shorter and it depends which adjusters you use.  With the long adjusters I switched the short one to the long side and got lucky on the short side out of my spares box.  There was no measuring sorry.
