Fast Ace AS-03 clamp?

Will the Fast Ace Triple clamps from the AS-03s work on 07 Pitster X4 fork tubes? It says the clamps are 48/45 mm. Just making sure before I pull the trigger. Thanks

Re: Fast Ace AS-03 clamp?

i think fast ace forks are 48/48mm so dont do it.... me and slayer have fastace 02s and 03s and both are 48/48... his new pitster has different size top size than bottom... they wont work.

Re: Fast Ace AS-03 clamp?

im 100% sure they are both the same.... dont chance it... i wasted allot of money on chinese stuff expecting it to fit... only to realize i have to mutilate the thing to make it fit... or completely wasted my money... hahaha just call them dude... for all i know they have a set that is actually 48/45... but misslabled it by saying they fit fastace forks

Re: Fast Ace AS-03 clamp?

Yeah I'll call for sure, that way they will take it back if it doesn't fit!

But hopefully it does. I believe the pitster clamps are a lot higher

Re: Fast Ace AS-03 clamp?

well it says in the eBay item it has the long shaft (which should fit ur pitster)... but if you want to mount it on a CRF style frame nech you would have to cut the shaft down a little to get the mounting hardware to tighten down on the clamps.

Re: Fast Ace AS-03 clamp?

Dude its not looking good... i think they are for sure not custom... im almost positive the ones he is selling are 48mm/48mm....

heres why...

..his other listing... shown below \/ ... says that those clamps are for all FastAce, Marzocchi, and DNM forks...

... i have DNM forks, and i have fast-ace forks,... and without a doubt in my mind DNM and Fastace have 48/48... and marzocchi has different settup.

Re: Fast Ace AS-03 clamp?

Yea it's for a Honda 70 frame. So i may have to cut it down some. But thats not a problem. Just hope the clamp openings are the right size.

Re: Fast Ace AS-03 clamp?

I called and the guy said they will work! He said the as-02s are 48-48 and the as-03s are 48-45 I told him I was using the pitster forks and everything and he said they will work. So if I can't make them work at least they will take them back!

Re: Fast Ace AS-03 clamp?

YOU NEED THE 45mm UPPER / 48mm LOWERS

CHECK OUT TDR Trading Co.,Limited. OUT OF CHINA . THEY HAVE THE ONES TO FIT THE GPX FORKS. I THINK THEY ARE AROUND $100 SHIPPED.
WE ARE RUNNING THEM ON 3 BIKES & THEY ARE HOLD UP GREAT. I MAY HAVE A SET. I'LL CHECK.
