Hi, I prefer centerlocks but I have a massive issue with them.
I have Avid hydraulic discs and bought some MT15 wheels with centerlocks. Problem is that the rotor now scraps the brake mount and calliper not allowing the wheel to rotate - in a nutshell shell, it seems as though the space between the rotor and calliper has reduced.
Has anyone heard of this issue, and do you know where I can get a thinner calliper mount or how to resolve this problem...I'm at whits end!!!
Cheers
Steve

fork?
what adaptor is fitted? take a file to it.
what hub? does it actually measure the correct width?"Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

It's the rear wheel, but I've no idea which hub it is - it's not specified on the technical data in the manual.
The adaptor is a standard Avid CPS brake mount to fit a 185mm rotor, it came with the Elixir 1 brakes.
I've take a file to one of the adaptors, but my handy work is a little amateurish, I was hoping that there would be a factory made one I could use.0 -
The formed shape ones like hope tend to be thinner than the ones that look like they've been cut from plate.Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0

Sounds like you're using a 165mm mount and a 185mm disk, have you checked the mounting bracket is actually correct?Planet X Kaffenback 2

If that were the case it wouldn't scrape the mount?Thelonegroover wrote:Sounds like you're using a 165mm mount and a 185mm disk, have you checked the mounting bracket is actually correct?Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0 -
so the rotor is rubbing on the adaptor? take the frame to have the mounting tabs faced. that should give enough clearance.stevethompson76 wrote:It's the rear wheel, but I've no idea which hub it is - it's not specified on the technical data in the manual.

or you could add a thin washer onto the axel if the spacing is not correct."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."
