Alex Dark Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 May possibly have to mill the adaptor down... I've done this before with success Check yer wheels in straight? Dial in the red dials so pads are right out away from the rotor and see if you can move the caliper so the rotor doesn't rub...Also, bent rotor?

Laurence--Trials Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 (edited) I know exactly what you've done, chances are kenny hasn't done this eather (if you havn't do it) Once you have your rotor on attach your calliper to your forks but dont do the bolts up tight, squeeze and hold the brake while you tighten up the bolts, this will put your calliper in the right place kinda thing. If you dont know what i mean type: 'how to set up your/a BB7' Into youtube and look for a video with a blue bike and the guy who's showing you how to set it up is always on about 'inch pounds' though the video, hes setting up a bb7 on the front wheel. Hope this helps you. Laurence. EDIT: found the video for you on pink bike. http://www.pinkbike.com/video/40686/ EDIT2: After watching it i did discribe it differently but both ways work.
