alas not....hope I havent caused any damage, wouldnt start this morning (!!) so havent tried it yet....

easy done anyway if you switch from brembo because they are solid and only holes are those for the 4 prongs....

and you expect the hollow parts NOT to be big enough for the prongs to go in...design flaw I'd say!!

It can be a right faff getting the drive pegs to line up with the holes, easiest way I find is to turn the rear hub/disc until a drive peg is at the top as it were, and line up with the drive peg hole in the wheel.

I jammed my finger in the hole and moved it when it got trapped!! Also, noticed when in the holes it moved the disc etc move cleanly

The simple solution is to fit magnesium 5 spokes...they have a series of correctly sized holes that fit the studs on the hub...

well, apparently this is quite common according to those that know so no its not a wind up and no I'm not a COMPLETE idiot, just partial one!!

Even heard of tyre fitters getting it wrong and the prongs being sheared off

Tut tut tut tut.... very very very poor Bradders....
