Will A arms, front or rear shocks simply bolt right on?? I know the wheel bolt pattern is the same.....

 

The offsets are different I put my mojave 18's which are 4/110 and they make the back-end 2 inches narrower.

 

The 400EX a-arms will bolt up, so I'm assuming the shocks would as well. The offset on the wheels is different. If you put stock R wheels on a Cannondale, you will be 2" narrower. What is cool though is going the other way, I put stock Cannondale wheels on my R and it's stance is wider now without buying a $350 aftermarket axle to achieve the same results. Of course I bought the axle anyway but.....

 

Thanks... I should of specified aftermarket parts. Stock 250r parts on a Cannondale..NOT. If 400ex A arms will the aftermarket shocks should???

 

So you could bolt on aftermarket a-arms from 400ex's and stuff. and everything will remain the same?

 

The 400EX a-arms will bolt up but I would not buy aftermarket a-arms specifically for the 400EX and then use them on the Cannondale. Supposedly the geometry is not correct. I know what you are getting at. You can buy the aftermarket parts for a 400EX cheaper than for the Cannondales so why not use them if they will work. The reason I know the a-arms for a 400EX will work on a Cannondale is I have a friend who is a pro rider who borrowed my FX400 and installed just such a-arms, they bolted up just fine.

 

Carey told me that it would work BUT it wouldn't fit quite like they should which would affect the handling. He STRONGLY suggested that I don't try it.
