here…make a desicion on what you guyss think it is…
Looks fine to me, whats the issue? If it was Miyata the foam wouldn’t fit that well from front to back.
and then it doesnt… ill send another pic… and the post wont fit right…
Does the handle fit flush against the base when you put it on? That is enough to tell you whether its KH or Miyata,
nope.
I don’t mean exactly flush but does where the bolts go through touch the base?
no.the front 2 are raised up like…ummm little bit less than half an inch maybe…
Yep, you’ve got a Miyata base.
sp what do i do…
i called em but they didnt answer…
can i even sand that front part down to even it out… is that the only difference???
They close at 5pm est. I’d call them tomorrow. I wouldn’t screw with trying to make it fit your hardware.
Proper fit:
that pisses me off so bad.
now i might have to pay all kinds of fees fr thier mistake.
im not doing it.
No, they will cover shipping as long as the KH base is what you ordered. Just don’t drill or anything yet.
Personally, I prefer the shape of Miytata (Wallis) bases. They’ve got less curve in them and since the sidewalls are higher theres more room to grip during SIF.
it is…but i dont want to have to wait if all i have to do is sand it down…
is the only different the wall height??
They are slightly wider and longer. As a result of the less curve, the KH style post may or may not quite fit the contour of the base.
i think i can get it to work…
probly…
you guys think i should go for it??
edit.
im not going to .
im mad and just want to ride.
the right thing is to wait and talk to udc.
I have no idea how sanding it down will effect it. Scott Wallis has spacers which allow you to use KH handles/bumpers on Miyata bases. I bet he has some of those left over which hes willing to sell or maybe you could fashion your own.
can i have pics of those??
They are just machined pieces of plastic to be similar in shape to the footprint of the bumper and handle, you can get a glimpse here:
I know some people have used washers before but I don’t know how that affects the strength of the bolts/handles.
I bet i cound shape some stuff to get that…and what base is that???SW???
Its sexy.
would sanding even work??
how does this stuff sand and how hard is it really…
