This is the internet at work here.

Put all three in your hand and make decisions.

Put all three on your screen and make assumptions.

I don't have all three.

can you throw a tape on them and show the difference?

I am interested, makes sence about the gear not engaging all the way. but still working untill you put some pressure on it.

Look at the second and third to the last pics on that Pirate link and you will notice the difference in the ifs hubs body is machined deeper with a deeper cone shape to it. you will notice that makes the gear sit closer to the face/hub dial.

So, will the bolt trick work on the IFS hubs with the solid axle gear in it?

no, at least on the longs, they are machined to accept a clip and a bolt and washer would be over an 1/8 inch away from the groove and let the axle move still.

You would not want to put oem solid axle gear into and ifs hub body cuz it will not engage all the way and be weak.

Guys, I'm just not picking up on things here. Maybe I'm slow. But, what exactly is the "bolt trick"? If you put a bolt into that threaded hole in the end of the outer axle, said bolt does not do anything as far as I can see. Will someone please explain?

The gears they are talking about are the ones down in the bass of the hub that the axle actually slides into.

On the IFS the bolt w/ washer is there to keep the hub on should the mounting nuts loosen up, or break. On the solid axle, the snap ring is inside the hub, so a bolt is not needed.

correct it does nothing. I have been trying to discourage folks form running that in place of a snapring or nothing at all.

On older cruiser hubs you can run mini birfs with the longer hubs if you just put a bolt and washer as shown above (fine spline hubs only) the cruiser hubs are longer so you can't even see the snapring
