I ride Indy forged hollows and I'm very interested in adding the Krux Inverted Hollow Kingpin to them. The problem is that I'm lazy and don't feel like going through the process of getting the old kingpin out (I heard it's difficult with forged plates) and somehow fastening the nut of the new kingpin to the forged plate (worried that the glue/weld would mess up the threads).
Today, however, I found out about the new Indy Inverted Kingpin and Baseplate Set. The inverted pin doesn't look nearly as advantageous (i.e. low) as the Krux one, and I'm disappointed that there's no forged plate option. But here's my idea: What if I use the plates from the new Indy set and the pin from the Krux set? That way, although I would lose the benefit of the forged Indy plate, I could still get a hollow pin with awesome clearance but without worrying about the need to fasten the nut to the baseplate, since the Indy set comes with a plate with space for the nut to lock in.
Does this make sense? What do ya'll think?
