Disk Alignment

I've just taken the leap and gone dual disk, but I'm having some problems aligning the rear disk.

I'm using a ZOO! Lynx frame and my rear hub is a Monty 221 ti 07, And a Hope mono mini brake.

Basically I just built it up last night and to get the calliper to get anywhere close to the disk I've had to use some washers, as the frame has been pulled into the wheel and throwing the mount out of line.

Also, the lever hardly moves and has little modulation. Does it just require a new bleed?

Does anyone know what I can do, or has anyone had the same problem?

Here's some pics, If they're not clear enough or it would be more helpful to see from another angle then let me know and I can get some more.

Those are your main problems unfortunately, the brake isn't much kop for trials and the frame/hub aren't really compatible - hub is 106mm and frame is 116mm - BUT it can be made to work.

You'll need to get the brake mount faced on the frame, that will make a huge difference. Give the brake a full service and re-bleed. Bin off the chain tugs to use snail cams - this will move the caliper closer to the frame so you can get rid of the nasty long bolts and all the extra washers. You'll have to love with the frame being squeezed in, not ideal but I did it on my Czar and it worked.

Yeah, the chain tugs are temporary until I get some cams, only on there so I could get the caliper roughly where it needed to be. I'll have a go at bleeding the brake asap.

Thanks.

EDIT: sorry I was replying to the video.

Aah no worries, I did wonder that :)

I think the main thing will be ensuring the disc mounts are faced. Also forgot to mention make sure the pads are nice and flat (as it, not worn on a funny angle). Unfortunately though the Mini brake is pretty underpowered for trials so it won't ever be as good as a Mono Trial :(

Ok, thanks, I'll have a look at the pads now, and make sure to use the reply button in future so not to cause any confusion! :P
