Shaving rims to fit new brakes?

[Kickaha]

trying to think of a way but being radial calipers the force is transfered through the bolt and leg base so i cant really think of a way of doing it.

any ideas more than welcome??

Sorry I missed the bit about them being radial calipers, you're fucked then

Is the distance with then bolted up the same from the disc centre to each side of the caliper body? you can't put a spacer between the caliper halves?

yea the distance between each side is the same.

you need to pull the inside wall of the caliper out (i.e. the side bolted to the fork leg) so even a spacer wouldn't work. but thats a cool idea, if not maybe difficult to actually do. youd probably end up poping a piston out eventually though.

had the rim down to thorpe's today and they knocked 2mm outta each side of the rim. bolted up she is primo. turned the wheel round in about 2 hours so big props to them. now just have to find all the missing bolts, turn down the axle and fit some tyres. yippe-ki-yay

cheers to everyone.
