Question Trigo/Jag

I bought a used set of Trigo's and the front hub thickness or depth of the wheel is too thick for the Jag front hub. The rears seem to be OK,,,I think. The front jag hub is about 5/8-3/4" shorter from the end of threads to the disc brake hub than the rear so there are not enough threads to completely thread the knock off on. I looked on the Trigo web site and see there is only 1 wheel listed for the 6 pins. Is there a different , longer hub available for the Jag? I know something has to change, I'm just not sure if it's the wheel or the hub.

I did read all the thread on the Contemporary forum but didn't see any definitive answer.

John

John you need to machine the thread length of the knockoffs off the back of the front wheels and drill the pin holes deeper. Wheel offsets are given in the manual.

Yes, that's what I'm starting to figure out. The offset is about 3/4" off from what the book says. That would give me plenty threads for the knock offs. After looking at the Trigo web site and they only offer 1 offset, I sort of figured it out that I needed to have them machined down. Thanks for verifying the fix for me. I knew that I could count on one of the board wizards to chime in. Thanks again.
