nb88 Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 I just recieved my front hope mini disc and im just trying to set it up with the shims. Basically caliper pad on the fork side is a lot closer to the rotor than the pad on the wheel-side. When i put shims between the caliper and fork, this moves the caliper towards the wheel, which is the opposite way to what i want. I have no idea how i get the caliper to move towards the fork as its just bolted onto the disc mounts :blink: . My wheel is correctly in place. Can anyone help? Thanks.

tipsy Jock Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 try getting your disc mount faced :blink: Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Smith Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 well theoretically if youre using shims you are moving it outboard rather than inboard, so dont use as may spacers, it also helps to have the disc mounts faced regards :blink: ash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nb88 Posted January 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 What exactly is disc mount facing? My lbs should be able to do it whatever it is anyway.... Cheers, Noz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Noz. ← disc mount facing squares the disc mount to the dropout using a specially designed tool by hope, which uses an endmil cutter to face your lbs should be able to do this for you if they are half decent ash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nb88 Posted January 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 Cheers.My lbs is ordering in a tool and should be able to do it next week. Thanks. Noz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartridge Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 Does the rotor rub on the rotor? If not, its fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bendee Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 Does the rotor rub on the rotor? If not, its fine. ← how would the rotor rub the rotor? im confused Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nb88 Posted January 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 Does the rotor rub on the rotor? If not, its fine. ← One of the pads was rubbing :blink: . I also need the caliper helicoiled as the threads are a bit buggered to be honest...so ill try and get that done today. Noz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartridge Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 Oops, 'Does the rotor rub on the caliper' I meant to say. If not, just ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nb88 Posted January 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 (edited) Oops, 'Does the rotor rub on the caliper' I meant to say. If not, just ride. ← It is rubbing (the pad) , but only slightly so ill ride until i can get it faced probably. Or do you mean is it rubbing on the actual caliper? And its being helicoiled atm to make sure i dont strip any threads... Edited January 21, 2005 by Nozmeister Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nb88 Posted January 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 I've had it helicoiled and will probably have it faced next week. Another problem i have is that the lever pulls in a hell of a lot, more than any other hopes ive used on my mates bikes. I'm guessing this is because the disk mounts arent aligned properly. Its also rubbing on one of the pads. I'm using monty x-lite forks so the disc mount is quite hefty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Si-man Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 The brake worked before I sold it him. Hasn't been used in about 4 months though, just been sat next to my computer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nb88 Posted January 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 Brake is fine now, i just tightened the bolt on the lever. It rubs a bit but i'll leave it (N) Noz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
