BIG Drew Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 Not on a trials bike it is on an Orange Five but there must be more of these on trials bikes than anywhere else Just brought the hubs second hand. ISO hub, HD axle + Fun bolts It looks like the end of the axle (Where it meets the frame) is too far away from from the disk mount on the hub shell. (By about 1mm) This means I can't line my calliper up with out bodging either the rotor further left or calliper further right with. Is there any adjustment for this in the hubs. To move the whole hub shell over on the axle. It preloads the bearings fine and there is no play.. Also what are people using for lube in these.. I've got some 10wt Synth engine oil in and it is silent.. A bit more of a hum would be nice!.. This is the rear hub I am talking about by the way. Front lines up fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoze Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 shimming disc calipers with a few thin washers is fairly standard practice; almost every disc i've ever used has needed it. It's gonna be just as strong, just in the right place - don't worry about it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 Or is it a post mount setup that doesn't give you enough lateral movement? If that's the case I'd probably stick some washers between the rotor and hub shell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG Drew Posted July 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 Frame is IS caliper is post mount. So I can shim the adaptor over no problem.. Maybe I'm over thinking it.. I have never had to shim a caliper / rotor with the post mount adjustability so assumed something on the hub was out of spec.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 It looks like the end of the axle (Where it meets the frame) is too far away from from the disk mount on the hub shell. (By about 1mm) Perfectly normal, shim the caliper away from the frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG Drew Posted July 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 Thanks all, you have convinced me.. couple of washers behind the adaptor and it is running ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
