I'm installing 41mm Simworks Honjos onto a Genesis Datum. My only previous experience was with pre-drilled VOs which are much easier to install. It's my first bike with thru axles and I was pleased to see that I could make use of them to locate the wheel centre and take measurements. This took some of the guess work out - but there was still a lot of shimming, filing, sweating and swearing. I also managed to cut myself on the reinforcing plate which is sharp as a knife. Will post pics when finished.
