williams Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Hey, long time no see! Going to fix the old bikes issues, SO: I have the old Onza pro 2010 frame, and I remember that I bought a built Monty wheel from Tartybikes, the hub is a sealed monty hub and I thiiink it's this exact hub: http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/116mm_fixed_hubs/monty_221_ti_rear_disc_36h/c62p2151.html I have disc brakes on the rear, and there's no way I can set the brakes up correctly without them rubbing like crazy! The only way I made it work was with some huuuuge spacers between the brake adapter and the frame, and it feels pretty risky riding like that. I've worked as a bike mechanic so it's not like I don't know how to set up disc brakes, trust me. But I can't adjust the caliper close enough to the disc, it's like I need another centimeter of adjustment towards the disc. So how do I make it work correctly? Spacers between the disc and hub?

gage-mann Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Find an old disc rotor and grind it down so your left with the 6 holes as a spacer and use 5mm longer bolts, probably be able to get away with using two discs as modded spacers.

craigjames Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Pretty sure the only hubs that worked without having to be bodged were an old Onza or Viz! hub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bing Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 My 2010 onza blade was the same, as said it needs a viz or Monty rear hub, I ran rear disk on a viz hub and it spaced out spot on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Run the disc side tensioner (tug or cam) on the outside of the frame, drive side put it between the frame and hub, frame will squeeze in a few mm but that will work 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williams Posted July 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Made it work pretty good with spacers between both the disc and hub, and between the adapter and frame! 6 hours ago, Adam@TartyBikes said: Run the disc side tensioner (tug or cam) on the outside of the frame, drive side put it between the frame and hub, frame will squeeze in a few mm but that will work Will try that out though!
