Some help please.

I have an inbred slot dropout 26' running disks.

I changed the axel in my rear wheel from one with an outer thread fixed with nuts and a tug to an axel from a DMR revolver hub which has a sunk thread for an allen and washer fixing.

The change was based on my wifes bike having the allen arrangment and me being fed up of cycling around with a spanner....

Anyway - now I can't tighten the allen bolts to fix everything without the disk mount making contact with the disk rotor.

I have moved / played around with the bolts etc on the disck mount to re set postion - but simply put - every time I tighten the allen bolts the frame gives a little and I get contact between the mount and the disk.

Any obvious tips for sorting this out - I have tried a few things - which I won't list now - but if this has happend to you or you have a solution please contribute.

Cheers

G

Sound like you need to add a spacer to the axle on the disc side to make the locknuts further apart and give enough clearance between disc and mount
