| Yes Tim, Fil2 had a few problems as I did a bit of brake bleeding for him and as I understand it the spindle bush in the left fork was repostioned.
I came into work late this morning as I spent a hour checking the front end out again.
My latest findings show that my front wheel is approximately 2mm off centre as the gap between the tyre and the right fork leg is almost 4mm smaller than the gap between the tyre and the left fork leg,
I double checked my Speedo spacer against the original speedo drive and they are both 35mm, the bush in the left fork leg is in its original position and as it has a top hat shape to it the wider rim bit is already pushed hard up against the fork leg. Now either this bush is noy the correct one, or its the wrong way round or possibly a wheel bearing has been replaced with a wider one, but somewhere a error the best part of 2mm has found its way into the setup which I know for certain has nothing to do with me. I have made things worse by fitting a thicker disc but if all was correct in the first place this would not be a problem.
I now have several options available to me
1:- Reduce the width of the speedo Spacer by 2mm down to 33mm
2:- Machine the rim off the top hat bush in the left hand forkleg
3:- Remove the wheel bearings and check their width
4:- Try my spare front wheel and see if its any different.
Which ever solution I use will move the wheel back towards the lefh hand fork leg and should hopefully give a lot better alignment between the calliper and disc.  |
