Rawnei Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 These replies are a bit hard to interpret, if I change the question: Anyone know if the newer model have higher curb clearance on the roll cages? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The increase in clearance was created by Veteran shifting the wheels axle mount down by just 1cm (this was all that can be achieved without more in depth modifications), this in turn raises everything (including the roll cages, shell, pedals etc.) up by just 1cm. @null's exaggerated visualisation explains it in the easiest form, but a 1cm increase is obviously not going to offer a huge roll cage clearance for curbs...pedal scrapes maybe? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, this reply is clear and easy to understand. 1cm still better than nothing though and might be enough to avoid a curb scrape? 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonFZ Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Does anyone know what is socket size for the Pedal Hanger nut? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonFZ Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Finally able to get the Old Pedal Hangers detached. This is a comparison of the Old Pedal Hangers and New Pedal Hangers. They look the same to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When did you get your Sherman, as it looks like you already had the pedal hangers with the 1cm change in height from purchase? This photo below will give you a comparison to the "Old" early batch axle mount position, before the 1cm change was made by Veteran. The axle mount hole was lowered by 1cm, thereby raising everything else on the wheel up by that same amount. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rawnei Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Anyone with the new pedal height got a chance to test it out? How does the curb clearance feel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DjPanJan Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 .For future buyers mine sherman was created/assembled 28day.1month.2021year and have "new" 6cm rim and 1cm higher pedal. This is just fact! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
