TrashZen Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 None of you has ever had a problem with the inside part (the inside adjustment screw) of the avid brake being in the way of the spokes (even with all the best adjustments)?? :P 'cause I am stuck now, with brakes I can't fit unless maybe I rebuild the front wheel with a different hub. The horizontal spacing (or depth) between the disk holes and the spoke holes is about 7mm on my hub (megamo). What is the clearance on yours??? It was already limit even with the louise magura piston, with the spokes feathering it. In the mean time... riding with no front brakes :D What hubs do you have? What spacing...

dave85 Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 Megamo hubs are known to have that problem, they were designed around the old single piston louise caliper, so the clearance is much less than the ISO standard. Anything modern will have the right amount of clearance :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Bleech Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 would it help if you changed the dish of the wheel slightly? is not hope, american classic, king or shimano all do good hub at variaty of prices :D Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrashZen Posted August 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 Yep, OK thanks for the confirmation. Checked out on some bikes in a bike shop. The clearance on most modern hubs is 15mm, that's double the space. Just need a new hub (nothing is going to be as lightweight as that precious megamo) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave85 Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 Wouldnt bank on it, the BT/viz/whatever hubs are basically a copy of the bikegas ones, just with more clearance. American classic hubs weigh naff all too, quick spider has one for sale in the buy/sell bit :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
