Saracen Wheel Clearence

[rocks370]

hello.

I've just upgraded my DDG Shooter frame to a Saracen Urban trials frame but my Mageras dont fit with my (also new) try-all rear rim

The Mageras are so close to the rim it doesnt actually turn and ive also tryed spacers on the rear axel but no luck. Is there anything else i could try?

Heres some pictures showing the problem:

As you can see, the Mageras are as far back as they can be.

I hope some one can help

My friend has had this problem before on his mod when he bought some yellow koxx blocks he had his cylinders maxed and the rim was too wide! So we just filed the pads down, took a while but it works...just make sure you file them flat

Hope that helps buddy

Thanks for that idea but i think the actual magera caliper that surrounds the pad is still to close to the rim.

I think i will just sell it and but a better frame and one where it will fit.

Is there any other frames that i will have the same problem with?I don't want to make this mistake agiain

perhaps try gettin a not overly sized clown wheel? get a proper rim from mavic or alex

You should try a onza ronnie rim mine fits fine i hope this helps u.

Take a belt sander to the pads.

Thanks for the ideas but considering i just spent £180 on a rear wheel and £90 on a frame i think ill change the frame......

Thanks for the help though
