Questions on frame bending

[Chainlube]

I got the dropouts aligned and the wheel centered. No problems. Just working out the disc sprocket assembly spacing. Splitting hairs to make it all work. Nothing like putting it together and taking it apart many times.

Well, if it was easy everyone would do it. Lol.

Er, I think you need a wheel?

And hopefully 2 wheels, unless he is turning it into a motorised unicycle...lol.

That would take some skill.

I,m surprised you did not choose a 210mm disc Robe. It would have possibly given you more clearance on the caliper. Best wishes.

I went with the 203mm, and it is a tight fit. It gets close to the frame. I am going to spread the rear a bit more and put some more spacers in to give it more room.

We have the same bike...I used a spare axle nut I had which is approx 1/2 inch spacer...That was all I needed as a spacer...Hope that is helpful to you...I also mentioned that in my "tutorials" on how I built the bike as well as the "tutorial" I wrote on stretching my rear forks...lol.

I need a bit more than that to get my chain alignment perfect. Thanks for the tip tho.

I would just add whatever amount of washers along with that axle nut to take up the extra space you need then.
