Mr.trial_dude Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 HellowI have a new magura louise 07 front discbrake on a koxx forxx,The thing is,the new ones are different,with the old ones the caliper was directly attached to the mounts of the fork,but with the 07 the caliper is different ,there is some sort of black thing,adapter between the caliper and the mounts of the fork.When i attached the brake to the fork but didn't tighten it fully,there is no disc rub,but as soon as i tighten the bolts it rubs..Everything is brand new,so what could be the problem ?Thanx in advancestvn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toby3448 Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 Seems like you may need to put a spacer in between the frame and the mount. Most likely one thin one on each bolt, but you will have to have a little play around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 I assume the new louise is post mounted?Pull the lever to lock the brake on the rotor, at the same time tighten the bolts which secure the caliper to the adapter. It's not the best way to set up a brake, but it's definitely the easiest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingtrials Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 Yeah just got a couple of spacers and put them onto each bolts that fits your calliper and it should be fine you might not need that many.Luke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
