i own an identity fork, it was a 14mm fork, it came with the adapters and they were for 10mm, not 9mm. it says u can use them on the site but it wont work

just because they're 1mm too big? maybe if i put enough torque through my bolted axle it would work....

i dont know about you, but i dont want my bike to be hack. and when it comes to my front wheel i like to be perfect. think if it slips and the front tire slams against the side of your fork
