JT! Posted January 13, 2007 Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 Short answer no, long answer yes.The only problem you'll have is the brakes not lining up. However, sometimes you can angle the pads towards the rim and if your lucky you might just get away with it. But i personally wouldn't bother, becuase you might have to angle the brake pads so much that the braking performance will be crap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTF Posted January 13, 2007 Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 Or you can get some adaptors that allows you to use 1" bigger/smaller wheels on your bike. Dont know who makes them though People use them a lot on 26" montys i know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onza_kev Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 don't bother mate, i had the same problem with my t-bird, was an absolute nightmare to set the rear brakes up, then i tightened all the spokes and it moved the rim away from the pads again so now i can't get it set up and have no rear brakes!! Ah well it was about time i got a new frame anyway.Plus when i did have them set up as best i could the brakes were still pretty crap to be honest.

onza_kev Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 (edited) Just found these on ebay mate, they offset the brake mounts allowing a 19inch rim on a frame designed for a 20inch rim.Hope this helpsbrake mount offsets Edited January 18, 2007 by onza_kev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20inchsuperstar Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 its a beeach to do but its possible, my mate had the same problem on his t-vee. th brakes gripped the very top o the rim and worked finenot sure if it'll be any good on yours but its worth a go. you may as well try, you can always take it off again lolmattp.s onza kev, i wanna be a tf mini owners club member Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waddy Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 (edited) Just found these on ebay mate, they offset the brake mounts allowing a 19inch rim on a frame designed for a 20inch rim.Hope this helpsbrake mount offsetsthat wont work, they offset the brake out/in, not up or down. as someone said up there you want the adaptors people used to use on montys to run a 26" wheel in a 25" spacing, so if you turn them upside down you can run a 19" rim in 20" spacing,give iolobikes an email, he will beable to make some adaptors for you (hes made some before) and they will be a fraction of the price of monty ones Edited January 18, 2007 by wad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Blackwell Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Ino this probly wont work i havent thorght it threw but if its standard magura mounts not 4 bolt mounts could you take off the mounts and tern them upside down may sound silly but it might work. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers.its more than likely v mounts, none of the base mods came with maggies, did they?your idea: that would make the pads come down over an inch, rather than the half inch he requires, although the wheel could be run really far back....but then the backend would be silly long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Blackwell Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Yes i suppose so but arnt the standard mounts very adjustable you could slide them up as high as the go maybe the might just fit but i really don't no Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
