Hydraulic front brake set up

Postby Granty » Sat Mar 12, 2016 7:47 pm

Troops -- was checking out the set up on my hydraulic front brake conversion, couple of things I'm not too sure about:

1. Where can I get the best front axle nuts that will defo not "bottom" out on the end of the spindle? the ones I have look real tight on length?
2. I have 2 locating washers in the links as there should be but should there be any other washers on the set up to bolt the front wheel into place & spin freely?

Cheers G

MB Developments do deep stainless axle nuts and there should only be the locating washers under the nuts. I've noticed that some of the Vietnam disc axles are longer than they should be.

Cheers -- I had MB ones on another bike so swapped them over -- it still looks real tight that the disc axle on the brake side doesn't bottom out. Changed them over tonight and it looks OK but cant be much clearance.

I prefer to use M12 x 1.5 nylock nuts, no bottoming out issues there. I don't like dome nuts full stop.
