jbs Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Does'nt that say they're for 50.8 mm? surely you'd need the correct ones for your cage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid_From_Hell Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 48.3mm is hardly often that accurate, there will be a small plus - minus 50.3mm is not exactly a huge diffeence, these clamps often don't meet up when bolted together, so with a small amount of care welded on to 48.3mm they will be fine as the take up will still make for a close fitting Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white90 Posted April 14, 2010 Author Share Posted April 14, 2010 I thought I can always cut them down the middle and re weld them if they are to big by far I can't find the exact size for the tube on my cage, these will be used in the rear hoop to roof connection as the hoop is to near the rear roof to be able to weld the support direct to the hoop insitu.

white90 Posted April 14, 2010 Author Share Posted April 14, 2010 Just got this from the horses mouth so to speak: Tony, we have supplied the 2” saddles many times for use on 48.3mm pipe. They should be fine, if however you are not happy to use them, by all means send them back for a full refund. Regards Dan.

Lewis Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 They'll be fine. In my experience of P&P, Custom Cages, and North Offroad the clasps rarely meet anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white90 Posted April 15, 2010 Author Share Posted April 15, 2010 I can confirm they are fine for the Tube mentioned above Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonr Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 I presume you cannot measure the tube because you don't have a vernier? What I tell people who want to measure their tube for X-Lites is to wrap a piece of paper round it and mark the point that the ends overlap. Measure the length marked on the paper with a ruler then divide by 3.14. Assuming you can measure to the nearest mm - it gives you an accuracy of 0.3mm on the diameter.

white90 Posted April 15, 2010 Author Share Posted April 15, 2010 Cheers Simon more the point was they are listed for 50.8mm tube but they are tight on 48.3 when fitted which is what I needed not having the tube and clamps in the same place raised the question now I have them both it is clear they are fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
