Brake Allignment

Recommended Posts

Have a little problem with my Ice frame.

I cant seem to get the wheel in such a position that my chain is tight and my brake alligns properly.

The pads are hitting the tyre with the clamps all the way back. Ive tried taking a link out of my chain, but this only makes the sprocket hit the chainstay.

I HATE running halflinks, so is there any other way around this problem?

Ive looked at buying the Try-All CNC Clamps that have more adjustment, but Im a little short on cash and I dont really want to fork out £30 on clamps when the ones I have should be fine.

Help :/

Using Atomz Elitis TR Clamps, 18- 12 gearing and a KMC Z510HX chain.

I had this issue on my old Echo Control. I bought these clamps plus a new chain. Change your chain often is the only way. And buy these clamps!
