JT! Posted May 10, 2020 Report Share Posted May 10, 2020 I probably would have know this 10 years ago, but I remember something about Monty hubs being longer than the regular back end of most mods? I took my brakes off to get them serviced, along with the back wheel as it needed a new chain and the brake booster/extender (I have a 200mm rear rotor because). There was a lot of spacers in there, but not enough to make up the 3/8th of a inch gap between the center of the pads and the disc rotor. The back wheel was a little tight going in, a light spread of the back end was needed, but I don't think that would be responsible for 3/8" gap just on that one side. I feel like it has something to do with the hub. Specs: Czar frame (the original one I think), Monty hub with two snail cams, a2z extender, original hope mono trials I believe. All these parts would be from around 2005-2008. Apart from the frame and the brakes, this was a complete tartybikes build bought used.

AdamR28 Posted May 10, 2020 Report Share Posted May 10, 2020 The Monty hub is the non standard bit. Post up some pics and we can offer some solutions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamR28 Posted May 13, 2020 Report Share Posted May 13, 2020 Hard to see as photos are a bit dark... but you'll have to remove the snail cam from between hub and frame, and then probably find a way to stop the axle bolt washer bottoming out on the axle. M10 washers should do it. Wheel will hold in place OK without a snail cam on that side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted May 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2020 Might be misunderstanding you, but wouldn't adding washers in just cause the same issue the snail cam is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the judge Posted May 13, 2020 Report Share Posted May 13, 2020 I think the washers would go on the outside of the frame. Without the snail cam the axle would poke through the dropout more, so the bolt would bottom out before tightening against the frame 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted May 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 Oh yep that makes sense. Thanks guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted May 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 Urgh, I don't have any thin enough washers to line it up perfectly. Smallest I've got is 1mm. With or without it, it rubs either side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
