I realize this is an old post but it’s perfect timing that I came across it.
I have the Alston front frame in my ‘68. As I’m looking into sizing my wheels I notice that their manual states, in bold, not to use positive offset wheels with this suspension. I don’t know if it’s the geometry or spindles or what. But that kinda limits the wheel choices. None of the sizes mentioned earlier would work without positive offset.
Do you guys know why this is? Is there something that can be changed?
Also, I have their sculpted spindles and really don’t like how the dust cap sticks out of the wheel and I can’t use center caps. Are there any other spindles appropriate for this kit that might have a shorter shaft or something? I’ve got Baer’s hubs and the wheels otherwise fit fine and mount flush to the rotor. It’s just ugly and I’ll have to grind out the little lip that the caps would clip to so that I can screw the dust covers on.
