If you have any doubt, I'd be happy to check them for you.

One small detail

It appears that Trigo switched to 60 degree bevel around 2003 or 4 possibly. So be careful to measure your bevel. Kirkham may have to make both 60 degree and 90 degree to satisfy the market. My info source is very reliable, plus PaulProe said

The pins and adapters both are machined to a 60 degree taper, not the 76-79 that David found. I am estimating the wheels to be around 5 yrs old. I bought them used so I can't verify their source or production date.

Bob Lacey,
Your definitive post is very helpful; thank you.

Regards and Happy Pin Driving to all!

Has anyone used the Team 3 adapters and wing sets with Vintage or Trigo wheels ?? They offer these items, but no drive pins... Great lookin product, helluva price, but nothing to hold it on with. Has kept me from buying... til now. I wonder how they fit with mentioned wheels, and what their taper angles are?? Gonna need me a set of pins ! David, perhaps you
could become a supplier for these guys...

Mike.

PS. David, thank you for delivering such a high class personalized solution!

I have a set of Team 3 adapters but found that the stud holes were not machined close enough to fit my Trigo wheels (once I got that point in my build). The pins won't line up, even with Trigo's alignment ring. The center hole is also not the same size as Trigo adapters, so if you want center caps you'll have to make your own.

To be fair, mine are a few years old and maybe he has made changes to them since. That I don't know.

So I'll sell you mine real cheap!
