Hi All,
Finaly got round to fitting the new forks (suntour xcr 011 series)
problem is my rotor bolts are catching the inside of the forks when wheel is dead centre & the adaptor I bought for the caliper IS to post dosent fit (caliper is off centre).Any thoughts or ideas welcome.
cheers
steve

Can you post up a picture of the rotor bolts and the caliper?

Without a photo it is hard to say, but that should be happening!
Are the rotor bolts the ones that the disks came with?
You may need to use washers to space the adaptor out.

Thanks for the replies, I will post some pics,the rotor bolts are the same as I used before it seems as though the bottom of the new fork legs as thicker than the origional which causes the bolts to bind.
cheers

I have suntour M2000 forks on the bike at the moment wich are IS mount,the ones I bought are suntour xcr post mount but the bottom of the forks are very different my existing ones have an indent to allow for the rotor bolts but the xcr ones are the same size top to bottom,do I need a thinner wheel?.Just thought it would be an easy upgrade until I can afford my ultimate bike cheers steve |
