[Closed] on-one slotty dropouts & bb7 clearance with 180 discs

[#899638]

I "need" a new frame to ss on this winter - my old zaskar isn't doing it

wondering about on-one (prob inbred or maybe scandal). I see on their site that bb7s may or may not fit the slotty drop out, and that's what I'd be using.

back disc is 180/185 - not quite sure if that'd make frame clearance better or worse than a smaller rotor (I'm imagining better as it'd be further out).
Anyone successfully fitted one, and did it take a lot of doing ?

Bb7 with 180 rotor works fine - might just be a bit of akward faffing when initially fitting the cable. 160 calliper is where you get probs - although there are ways round it. Do a search on mtbr.

thanks clink - don't mind faff unless it involves grinders & stuff

I'd be having an 18 or 20 inch one too - I'm guessing that has a bit more gap between chainstay & seatstay anyway ??

off to mtbr
