Front wheel and disk alignment

Post by chromedome »

Having serviced the new 954 callipers, I went to reassemble the front end, but found that the right-hand disk was way off centre in the calliper (towards the outside, with barely any clearance), as well as quite close to the fork leg. I refitted the original calliper, but that was the same. I made sure I had the spacers the right side (long on right, short on left), so can't work out what the issue is. As far as I can tell, the axle bolt pulls everything up tight against the right-hand fork leg, so the only slight variable should be the position of the left fork leg. What am I missing? is it possible the spacer is the wrong size? It measures 22mm wide.

Yes, checked that, and that the disks are on the correct sides.

Have a read through this:- viewtopic.php?t=28285
Or do another search.

Iirc the longest wheel spacer on the front wheel goes on the righthand side, so your way of thinking sounds correct,
