Jake Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Spacers are indeed an option but not ideal really. Yes, lots of folks have had the same problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merckx Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Have they used the spacer idea?? Yes, but there's a limit to the thickness that should be used for various reasons. How far do the wheels need to come out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simbasupra Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 I have also heard of people grinding calipers:taped: I don't like the idea of either of these methods and if it were me i would sell them and buy some wheels that fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swampy442 Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Dont forget spacers will screw the offset. I had the same problem, in the end I had to get a style of rims that cleared the calipers. Step forward Advan RGII's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When my KEI D1's failed to arrive I had to make do with 2mm spacers under my old BK seven spokes They were thrown in the bin when these arrived: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoff Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Avoid spacers if you can as they will have an effect on handling etc. But they will provide a sloution. Ideally get the some more wheels:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
