bing Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 I have a limey 3 stock, and rick who I ride with has a limey 4, and we have both had to grind off the back of the crank arms to enable the arm to clear the brake cylinder. The wheel is perfect lined up, and the cylinders are stuck out the same amount on both sides. When I come to replace the pads, I'm gonna have issues. Has anyone else come across this problem? My only thought is the rear rim is too wide, but all rims look about the same nowadays? I'm running an 04 maggie, heatsink cnc yellows, which are about half worn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dngr2self Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 What cranks are you running? When I got my genesis I got some echo cranks because the offset is pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bing Posted July 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 It's got a 128mm trialtech bb and trialtech cranks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dngr2self Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 They should be ok in theory but obviously not. You could try echo tr's, they would give you an extra 4mm. It's not ideal though is it? You'd think you would be able to just put your cranks on and not worry about them hitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bing Posted July 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 Might try some of those then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miketrials1995 Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 (edited) I ran my limey 3 stock with 128mm BB, trialtech sport forged cranks 175mm and a 43mm rear rim, running new 10mm coust pads the clearance was really tight so the wider rim may be your problem.because most rims being made nower days are about 47/48mm wide.

bing Posted July 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 Might try the smaller coust pads then next before I shell out for a new rear rim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
