Blommah Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 So i`m putting together my 24seven bike now as we speak and i had to file my dropouts a couple of millimeters to get my deng GU hub-bolts to go in, it seems that it works now but then there is another problem.The spokes are rubbing against my hope brake caliper when i center my brake, it works when i put it a bit back, but then the disc is rubbing, not much, but anyway.Do i have to get a new wheel, and also a new fork since i filed it?Are deng making parts incompatible with other brands?Cheerios Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psycholist Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 Check how tight your spokes are - sometimes if they go slack they'll bow out. Only place I've seen this though was building a road rim onto a Hope XC front hub and the rubbing stopped once the spokes got decent tension...

Ash-Kennard Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 Has the disk tab (on the forks) being centred/flattened/theres a name for it but I can't remeber. Could be causing some sort of issue?faced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 Did you build the wheel? If so, did you remember that the outer cross has the outer spoke going under the inner one? Kinda find it hard to put into words hope you get what i mean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda find it hard to put into words hope you get what i mean?Yes i know what you mean, i built the wheel but i dont remember actually.But i had no probs with running exactly the same set up of wheel and brake when i had my GU fork.My only guess is that it`s the hubs fault, the GU hubs got spacers on their axles, making it less wide, and the spokes are going more straight up, instead of up in an angle if you understand?Or am completely wrong?Also tried to fit the wheel on another fork i had, didnt work there either, the hub bolts were too big.

basher Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 Best off getting us a pic of the fault so we can see more clearly rather than guessing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boon racoon Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 Aren't the Deng hubs/frames 116mm wide and the 24seven (assuming you mean a Holroyd) and other mods 110mm wide?Think that'll be it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
