right, just got a secondhand one and i'm building it up at the mo.
Problem is the rear disc brake mount. It appears to be further away from the rotor than on all my previous frames (including several steel ones). I've always just butted the disc adaptor up against the frame and bolted on but this doesnt work on the Inbed. Is this normal and do i just shim it out with some washers and long bolts or do i need a special adaptor?
What have you guys used to combat this 'issue'?
Thanks in advance.
Swoosh
You should have two uber-thick washers with the frame. Think the fatter part of a v-brake gimble/washer thingy and you're on the right lines (about 3-4mm thick).
In fact a v-brake gimble/washer thingy part is probably a good substitute.
I've got a 2007 456 and with Hayes Nines and mine's fine. I haven't used any extra shims or washers that I can recall. Which model is it? Is it one with the sliding rear dropouts which accommodate the calliper between the chain and seat stays?
Ditto with my 2009 456, Hayes Nines fitted straight on no washers etc etc-oh and she is a joy to ride/slide/jump/drop-so much so the full suss is virtually redundant.
If its one of the orginal sliding dropout frames it will need to little spacers between the brake caliper mount and dropout...my SH frame didn't come with any but Brant sent me some FOC which was nice
It's one of the most recent 853 special edition Inbreds. The one that came out in 08 in the yellow colour. it's got siding dropouts as opposed to slot dropouts.
i've got some washers that will do the trick for spacing out but will i need longer bolts? surely with all the washers, there wont be enough thread protruding through the washers and actually holding the adaptor in place? i offered up the bolts i have to the mount with some washers between and it looks like they will only be in the mount about 3-4 turns. Will this be enough?
sorry to ask what might be a straightforward question but i'm not really mechanically minded so struggle with stuff like bolt holding capabilities.
so no one has any comments to make about longer bolts, if i need them or anything like that?
yes, you will need longer bolts and you will need to space the calliper off.
great frame BTW.
Washers will work fine on most modern brakes - such as the ones with post adaptors and some adjustment for the caliper position. On-One do sell spacers for the job though.

Long bolts needed too, 6mm (ish) longer than normal. Same length as front V brake bolts works great.
nice one, thanks Brant.
now all i need are the bolts from a set of v brakes, i knew i shouldnt have thrown my old ones out in the new year clearout! Damn it!
