wayneone Posted December 24, 2005 Report Share Posted December 24, 2005 Right got my new t-rex went to set up the brakes but come accross a problem the maguras were pushed all the way in but there was still too small a gap to fit the pad in without it hitting the rim, In the end i had to remove some pad material to get it to work(about 1mm 1.5mm). Ive got hog and ronnie rims altho im not sure its a ronnie becuase its realy realy wide a lot wider than my old one, anyway this problem occured on both frame and forks just wondering if theres a fix or if ill just have to sand some off the pads all the time?And on another note i got some pink echo pads for free from tartybikes what are they like on a smooth rim?

Simpson Posted December 24, 2005 Report Share Posted December 24, 2005 just make sure your cylinders are all the way outwards as they can be loosten it off and pump the lever which pushes the cyclinders outwards, never had new pads but my friend has a t rex with a ronnie and has no problems!
