Carrera Vulcan 2014

danvannoorden

Hello all,

If there are any owners of the bike mentioned could you tell me what size the front rotor is, are they 6 bolt or lock in and last but not least the seat post width.

I hear carreras come with common measurements but just want to double check before I get mine next week I have searched Google but its all halfords pages or reviews that don't cut to the chase

Thanks in advance,

DVN

They are 6 bolt, I think 160mm each end and most Carreras have a 31.78mm seat post - but I can check tomorrow

Also the 2014 Vulcan isn't available until the summer and will have 650b wheels, what you should be getting is the 2011/2012 model as reviewed here

Yes that's the one, silly me thinking buying a bike new in 2014 it would be a 2014 model :S

Thanks for the reply, you wouldn't know if the Clark's skeletal brakes accept 180mm rotors?

yes they do if you get the correct adapters like here

I think you will need type 7 all of what penguin of death said it true
hope that helps

Thats a juicy bit of gossip. I remember the Bikehut manager at my local store telling me that 29ers are the future
