I have received an email from Scootrs regarding the dimensions of the hub. I described my problem to them and asked for confirmation that 136mm is the correct dimension for their hub. This is their reply:-
"Yes, you have the correct measurements. I'm told it is normal to have a tight fit on these so put the right side in first (disc side) and just pull the left trailing link out a bit as you slot the axle into it."
I don't want to risk over stressing the link bushes so I've sent the rs unit back for a refund. The chaps at Beedspeed have measured one of their SPAQ pepper pot hubs and it has a spindle location width of 133m, which should slot snug into my links. So I've ordered one of those. It's more money and doesn't have anti-dive, but at least it'll fit.
Thanks for advice everyone. Incidentally, has anyone managed to fit anti-dive to the SPAQ pepper pot?

You're absolutely right and there is no issue with an offset. There never has been with the anti-dive. (There only was on one type in one batch or something of the previous type kit many years ago.)dennis wrote:Had this problem about 5 years ago,can't believe they have not cured the problem,I rode for a little while with the wheel offset with no problem but got so fed up with looking at the offset wheel i changed it for a different hub,plus the offset wheel is a possible MOT failure.
Go over your fork links carefully, normally what it is. I'll pass along a word though to check for any change in the machining.
