[Closed] Rogue spoke catching front caliper.

Just got a new set of wheels. Trial fitted them and one spoke is catching the brake caliper. Its a CK hub on a Reba fork with a Juicy 7 caliper. Others are just a mm or so away too. Is this a fault with the dishing?

Can I slide the caliper across, push the pads/pistons across to increase the clearance. Does there need to be an equal volume of fluid behind each piston?

You could space the rotor out and then slide the still centred caliper across- roviding the rotor bolts will not catch the fork.

Ive go tthis problem too. Planning on going for the packing the rotor out option.

I was hoping to swap wheels rather than change tyres so I'd have too realign the caliper for every swap. Would redishing the wheel pull the offending spoke over enough to clear the caliper?

Think Kings can have clearnace issues so a re-dish may not solve the issue.

Chances are your other wheel won't posistion the rotor in the same place as the King anyway.

Space the rotor on the King out, then do the same on the other wheel to get the rotors in the same place?

Agreed - I've got two different wheelsets (AC and Tune hubs), and the positioning of the disc tabs is different enough to need spacers to get them both lined up the same.

I've swapped wheels with identical hubs before. I thought that was what ISO was all about. Scuttles off disheartened in search of some washers.
