aaron-i'anson Posted September 9, 2006 Report Share Posted September 9, 2006 Right i'm running Onza Ronnie 19" rim for 2 main reasons.1. I'm using a wide tire, An old Monty 2.5 (the one with white ring running around the outside) and with wide rims it rubbed on either side of the chainstays but incase it wont work i have a thinner tire so if with a new rim it doesn't fit i can chuck that on if, I go for a wider rim what i am hopefully doing if all goes well.2. I'm running Cousts in CNC'd backings and i think with a wide rim you need to have hardly no pad material in the backings otherwise the brake pads are fully on rim what causes it to rub.I am wanting to change rear rim as i am going through the Onza rims like nothing and no i'm not a harsh rider. I'm hoping to get the new 07 Echo rim.So i was wondering is there anyone else who uses a wide rim and CNC'd backings and a fair bit of pad in backings? Or is there anyone whos been in my situation and managed to run what they wanted to?In other words can i get out of this!Many thanks Aaron.

Mark W Posted September 9, 2006 Report Share Posted September 9, 2006 It's "only" 46mm, so it's not as wide as they used to be. If you have too much material, just trim the material off with a Stanley knife (or a harsh grind ) and you should be fine... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings Posted September 9, 2006 Report Share Posted September 9, 2006 Couts pads are 6mm, the other heatsink pads are 8mm. Zoo are also 6mm so both the Coustsinks and Zoo are comparable. You should have no problems with these pads. I used a 47mm try-all on my Zoo, and some new RimJam green pads, and all was ok.Currently using Coustsinks on an A1 with a 48mm rim and there's still loads of space for the pads... if only the cranks wouldn't hit the magura calipers but that won't happen on a mod.

Deonn h Posted September 9, 2006 Report Share Posted September 9, 2006 I have a 05 short python.I also had problems when running old style monty tyre.Get a echo tyre old style or new there slightley thinner , still have the same bounce and less fold.Then it wont rub with a wide rim.
