Afternoon all!
I’m new to the Bird ownership fraternity and have just picked up a lovely second hand Aeris 1.5 which I am currently building up. However…
I’ve got a Chris Kind rear hub with a 142 x 12 axle but I have noticed that when doing up the maxle the rear triangle flexes inwards slightly (almost like the axle is too short); the clearance between the disc and the calliper mounts is less than a millimetre; and the maxle protrudes about a millimetre from the drive side drop out when tight.
Is that normal? Or is there some kind of spacer on the inside of the disc side drop out that I am missing? I can’t see how the disc might flex enough during riding to contact the frame but the tolerances seem abnormally small.
Any help advice would be gratefully received!
