got round to try and fit these over the weekend, the front wheel went on with no issues whatsoever -

however the rear seems to not sit right, it sits to f
ar to the right and the wheel / tyre is to close to the RH side - would this mean that maybe the hub isn't compatible?

it had an 8 speed casette fitted when i picked it up which i took off and fitted my 9 speed, could this be the reason?

ii thought it may require re-dishing (is that a word??) or is that a load of old cr4p?


any answers greatfully recieved!!

    what did it come off? and what is it going on?

    yes it mat need a re-dish as not all bikes have the same dropout set up.

  • ummmmmm


    dunno and dunno. but coming from bike A to bike B where they are different makes it feasable to require re-dishing?

    maybe maybe not.

    ask him for more info.

    If one is a Spesh then most likely.

    yes they were Zero dish.
    so rim will be 5 mm out.

    wheel needs a re-dish.
