I go to put on my newly aquired ROH wheels, had to flip the quad shock in the back....No Big Deal

Go to the front and the wheels won't fit on cause the dust cap on the hub sticks out too much.

Should I beat them in with a hammer, or can I find a replacement that is smaller?

If you're referring to the grease cap ( where the center cap goes ), I just pounded mine with a hammer. I don't know if it's right or not... but it worked

Thanks though

Ahh yes.......the mystical BFH tool, I have used many times before.
In fact we have a saying around the shop, if the hammer doesn't work...........get a bigger hammer!
