    What do you mean by bridge?

    From what you say a simple re setting of the caliper would fix it.

    But 5mm if way out of spec if it is as you say along the axel.

    Possibly cones of new axle are further along thread? With cone spanners and patience this can be fixed.

    Edit: after looking at my rear mech this is b0llox. Ignore what I said :)

    Possibly thinner locknuts on rear disk side cone? Compare with old wheel. Check if shims or washers fitted. Had this issue with cheap replacement axle on wife's bike once.


    Sometimes. Maybe. Possibly.

    Is the new wheel 142 and the old 135mm?

    I would say that the fact that the new wheel seems to be approximately 5mm to wide I would say your spot on rookie is there an ap for that or is the wheel no good

    An ap? Is it a virtual bike.
    If the axle fits in the dropouts it's unlikely tp be 7mm too wide.

    So rear wheel?

    So as to the rest of your questions?

    What wheel? What hub? What bike? Make model and year?

    And yes no and maybe. I talk depends on your answers to the above.

    OK, not a 142.

    I've had both on the rear of mine with no isse, could be the rear has been rebuilt with 2 locknuts one side and none the other perhaps....photo's are a must, use an external host like photobucket, tinypix or flickr....
