CalopS Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 I'm having trouble fitting my rear wheel in my new manus frame. Its a monty wheel off a 221 ti (not sure what year) with try all snail cams. This is the hub i think I fitted the brake caliper first but when i tried putting the wheel in with the snail cams on, the rotor was much too far from the dropout to fit into the caliper. (the snail cams can only fit in the inside) Without the snail cam it fits fine but obviously the hubs miles away from the other side of the frame. I thought about swapping the spacers over on the hub because there different sizes but the one on the disk side (the larger one) wont budge. Does anyone know if its possible to get it off? I tried taking the caliper off just to see if the wheel would actually fit properly (with snail cams) but theres a few mm on each side and I'm not sure how safe it is bending the frame in to make it fit? confused! so basically has anyone successfully fitted a Monty rear disk wheel to a manus and how did you do it? can get pics if needed.....

AdamR28 Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 Pretty sure Rob had a Monty hub in his - you can squeeze the frame in a bit and it should be fine, but ideally a 'proper' 116mm hub is the best solution... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leistonbmx Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 Try to avoid squeezing it. You want the drops as parallel as possible. bending them in will make the disc sit in the caliper at an angle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep i have monty hub and i need about 1cm of spacers between caliper and frame , they do work its just that the monty hubs are made for the monty frames thats why you need a shed load of spacers will get a pic off mine and post in here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 Try to avoid squeezing it. You want the drops as parallel as possible. bending them in will make the disc sit in the caliper at an angle. Should be able to solve that kind of issue using the really thin spacers Hope (I think?) do for spacing your caliper out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CalopS Posted February 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 Here! does this work? http://koxx-rob.pinkbike.com/album/Hub---cockman/ Yes that works thanks. I managed to bodge kind of the same thing, just needs a bit of tweaking. The brakes a bit spongy. Got a problem with crank clearance too. The bit of pedal that sticks out of the crank catches when i pedal hard or pedal kick. Would it be easier to space the pedal out or the crank or the BB??? Pics up tomorrow probably. Thanks for the super fast delivery Adam. came at 8:30am. Shame it took me all day to bodge it together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CalopS Posted February 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 (edited) Sorted. I had some plastic spacers in but they weren't up to the job. Put some metal ones in and the brakes not spongey anymore. Sorry for the shoddy pic. bit too close....... Still not sorted the pedal though. Couldn't find a spacer the right size. Heading to chevin cycles tomorrow to see if they have some. Thanks for the help!

AdamR28 Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Keep an eye on those caliper bolts dude... They will work loose very fast as there are so many spacers. Personally I would sacrifice a bit of 'frame squishing' to have a few less spacers in there, or put the majority of the spacers on the drive side if you can.

CalopS Posted February 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 So, i got hold of some pedal washers so the pedal doesnt stick out of the crank anymore but now the crank is rubbing. What else can i do? Its nothing major but with a new bike I want it all running properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
