Kieran@ZSClothing Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 my disc brake gets caught up in my spokes and means my wheel cant move???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Banks Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 (edited) Could it be the caliper was designed with a 26" wheel in mind? Edited December 17, 2009 by Lord Banks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Banks Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 it used to work on my old mod..Not sure, seems odd, i was just throwing something in there.I assume you've checked the wheel is dished and true and all that jazz, could it be a bent frame??

Nickkkkk Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 (edited) could try moving caliper to one side using washers... doubt it would work though, depends how much calliper is hitting the wheel Edited December 17, 2009 by Nickkkkk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borat Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Are the spokes tight enough mate, this does make a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FINDUS Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 (edited) Is it a new wheel build?? as looking at the pic your rim is wide and the spokes are very offset. eg. normal spokes run in line with each other on both side yours are space over to the edge of the rim.. does that make sence?http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?pr...;category_id=26 drilling holes all in the centerhttp://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?pr...;category_id=25 larger size rim but notice all the spoke holes are offset Edited December 17, 2009 by FINDUS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Barely, if the spokes are bowed then the wheel will flap about when you ride.I'd suggest adding a washer under each disc rotor bolt between the rotor and the hub, a washer on the end of the axle then space the caliper until it's lined up., this will effectively move the hub and wheel away from the rotor/caliper.

trialsmax04 Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 kieran the spokes dont look tight enough. Had this problem on my mountain bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Burrows Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Yeah its down to the wheel design, probably a combination of offset rim drilling and small gap between hub flange and disc mount. The only option is to space out the rotor, then add a spacer onto the end of the axle. Obviously this is not ideal, and will only gain you 1 or 2 mm extra clearanceEdit: Muel beat me to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale-Hill Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Could also try facing the disc mount? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurtisRider Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 or a bigger rotor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Brodie Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Its the offset rim keiran Koxx had the same problem with the sky so they put all of the spokes on the non drive side, inside the flange. Quality building from koxx!Would say do the same but it makes the wheel flexWhat rim is that out of curosity? rockman proto? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Vandart Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Is it because of that dodgy looking mount? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispyboy Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Well kieran when i tried to run my try-all spare rear wheel i got the caliper rubing on the spokes.When i put my echo on onza rim in again and it works fine ?i dont know why haha sorry im no help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Vandart Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 I think the clue lies within here Click me for the clues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gage-mann Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 whats the offset for the spokes on that rim, if you only had a 1mm offset like a normal try-all rim or something like that your spoke would go more into the centre of the rim and caliper would'nt be near the spokes? should be alright with any rim though to be honest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieran@ZSClothing Posted December 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 right i re built my wheel and very well this time perfectly center and spokes very tight... still pissing rubs !!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigjames Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 As has been said mate, might be due to the fact the spokes are sitting further out from the centre line of the rim, they're more up right than a rim without offset spoke holes and as such are closer (hitting) the brake calliper.

psycholist Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 2 options - fit a bigger disk so the caliper is further away or lace the disk side of the hub with all the spoke heads to the outside of the flange. This is nasty looking and the spokes will be tight where they cross near the hub, but it can be done. Otherwise fit a different rim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieran@ZSClothing Posted December 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 thats such f**king shit.. i just got this new rim today there should be a waring on tarty saying it dosent work with rear disc brakes... wtf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie East Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Tried spacing the caliper and rotor out with washers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamR28 Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 thats such f**king shit.. i just got this new rim today there should be a waring on tarty saying it dosent work with rear disc brakes... wtfIt does work. If you lace the wheel on the disc side with all 'heads out' that gives enough clearance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
