Looking to upgrade to 2” hollow spindles from my combos. I know this is a common upgrade. I have some dumb questions

. Is it possible to adapt the existing hub and brake combo to the bigger bearing? Or do you have to buy new hubs.

as far as the spindle goes, can you weld on a 2” hollow snout onto my existing spindle so i dont have to refigure all the hiems and tierods and such.

Just looking for the least invasive way to do this

Usually you can weld a plate to the upright that the spindle welds to so you won’t have to change your upright. You will have to buy a new brake kit/hub assembly. I have a friend that gets real good deals on Jamar hubs.

I think we have a couple of post on the board we have done over a 100 conversations,

Yes you can keep the same upright we can convert your spindle to a 2'' hollow spindle, the most affordable is RBP for brakes,

Looks like RBP kit is out of stock. Gray area has a kit for the same price. Thoughts on them?
 
Gray Area makes really nice stuff, just checked his price on those and at that price point his 2" front is hard to beat. If you call and talk to Geoff, tell him parker said to stop selling stuff so cheap I cant compete.
