Hi all,

I am having difficulty setting up my rear disc Brake. There just doesn't seem to be enough room physically to have the adaptor and the disc caliper. the gap is very very tight, and so the adaptor rubs on the disc.

Can you get different width adaptors?

Thanks

Mark

Possible silly question- is your wheel sat in the dropouts correctly?
What frame, brakes and adapter are you trying to match up, some types from different manufacturers won't mate up correctly.
