Okay, so I finally need to use my T-Rex triple tree stand so I can take off my front wheel. After going through all the adapters, I find that none actually fits well. The middle one almost fits, but won't slide in (just skirts around), and the next step down is loose by, oh, a mm or so. I can lift it with the slightly smallish one, but having that bit of play, I dunno if it may cause problems (unstable, forces focused uneven that could cause damage to the triple tree, etc.).

Has anyone else noticed this, or did I get a bogus adapter?

I didn't get the right one with mine. I called them and they were able to send me the right one one at no charge.

Damn. I'm gonna need one pretty quick, I've got a tire coming in at a local dealer. What size should I ask for?

I just went out and checked mine with a pair of Calipers and it was 18.5mm. It's a nice snug fit in my '07 XB12STT
