classicmonty Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 Im not too new with the trials riding but the other day I upgraded my monty with some Hayes 9 disc brakes with the 8 inch rotors. I got it all setup and found out the brake mount isnt working to good. I got the brake all way and the rotor is still rubbing up against. Also the other problem is that i need a smaller one so the rotor cna touch the whole brake pad. If anyone else has faced this problem could you help a brother out. Other than that the brakes are f**kin sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krisboats Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 I think you need to give us a bit more information to work with. Is it the front or back thats rubbing? Did you buy them as a pair or seperate from somewhere like ebay or a friend? Can you get pictures? Have you had a look at the online instruction manual for hayes brakes?

classicmonty Posted December 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 Im sorry if I wasnt clear with what I posted. I got a set of Hayes 9 disc brakes with the 8 inch rotors and put one on the front of my Monty. I mounted the front and found that there were two problems: first off was that the rotor was still rubbing up against the brake pads even though i adjusted the caliper as far as it would go. the second problem was that the brake adaptor that attaches to the frame is to big so it doesnt allow the rotor to catch the pads. Its only catching about a cm or so on the rotor. I was wondering if anyone had run across something that would fix this problem. This weekend or so im bringing my bike into a shop and see what they think about the brake situation.Also i fixed the rubbing by putting a spacer between my hub and fork which i hope that i can take out once i get a new bracket for the caliper.Ill be sure to post my results when i figure everything out.
