dezmtber Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 its definitly got some out of line dropouts there mate. if you have two old axles bolt then into each dropout and if both axles dont line up in the centre, you will need to man handle the bent one back inline. we use these in the shop. but old axles work too. and the disc facing too if you do all this and it still doesn't work then file the dropouts to level the wheel. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williams Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Firstly I would like to suggest a idea, might not work... buuuut can't you just line you're wheel up "wrong" i mean like the hub not being 100% pushed down into the fork? Does this makes sence? I mean if you insert the front wheel like wrong into the dropouts it will surely get out of allignment and sit into the dropouts at a bad angle, can't you just do the same but actually make it straight? Soooo hard to explain haha! Or you could just buy longer bolts, and a couple of spacers to space your disc caliper out a little right. Bend the disc to, if you space it out you should be able to bend the disc so it fits much better! Don't know if any of my "suggestions" makes sence at all, but since English isn't my language it makes the situation allot harder... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezmtber Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 The wheel will move into the dropouts when it hits down. Bending the rotor won't help the situation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williams Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Bending the rotor won't help the situation I mean bend it if you space the brake caliper out. And yes it WILL help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
