Anybody knows the difference between the "old" CRF (2009/10-2012/3) and the new model regarding the triple clamps?
I have a X-trig triple clamp from my old 2012, will it fit the newest generation of chassis? If it doesn’t fit, can I change the part that are not right to make it fit or do I have to sell it for cheap?

its maybe not a case of whether the clamps fit the frame, but more of an issue of whether the clamps fit the fork tubes

If it’s the forks, I’m good, I’ve saved my kyb A-kit forks Smile
I haven’t asked them, I’m afraid that they want me to buy a new one..Angry

I am running a 2012 X-trig on my 2013. The difference is in the lower bearing. I just swapped mine out and have been running it for a couple years now.

Thanx D712!
Did you use the one from the original clamp?
I did sent a e-mail to x-trig, but havent got an answer though...

Thanks for the help! Smile
