|   Troubleshooting XTR discs please... | bones
Jul 24, 2003 1:41 PM | | I changed wheelsets last night. I was running a PhilWood/hayes setup. As the philwoods are Hayes specific, I had to use my XTR calipers with the Hayes rotors. They worked perfectly.
Last night I changed to an XT rotor and Chris King wheelset and there is a tremendous amount of drag on the rotors.
Any ideas why the difference?
Thanks,
brad. |

Either use some micro washers to space the rotor if you want an effortless wheel swap, or move your caliper. |

For the old front caliper, the mounting points had to be filed down almost 1 mm to make everything fit, but the new caliper, I had to add spacers. Everything else remained the smae, just the rotors were swapped, but a huge difference. That's normal. |
