05 Norco 4 huns had the same problem with HFX 9s the solution is to space the rotor out from the hub or as sugested go to a larger rotor

holly batman that hose is on the wrong side! You guys say all Juicy 3's are like that? Wonder why.


If the brake that you had on before was Hayes or Avid, the adapter will work with this brake. Just put your old rotor and adapter back on, slap that caliper on the 203 adapter, and you should be good to go. If that still doesn't fix your problem then I'm at a loss, the hub shouldn't be the culprit, they haven't changed that much.

there are a few hubs that cause this problem (some dmr and wtb come to mind right off the bat)....if the flange is too large in diameter or starts further outboard than "normal" the caliper will hit the spokes....either way a larger rotor should do the trick as previously mentioned

Yeah I could see that, but in that case a 20mm DH hub/wheel wasn't really intended to be run with a 6" set up out front.

Nah, that mech brake was a winzip, I sold it to get this set anyways Razz
I'm kind of afraid of putting spacers on the rotor, you know, I think it'll lose all the stifness 'n shit.
My friend has told me, that it can be a problem with truing up the wheel - how that can be true? :S

get a bigger rotor because you probably already know the further out from the hub you go the more room there will be for the caliper

a 180mm avid rotor would be fine or this

You won't really loose stiffness, and you won't loose any of the ability to true the wheel. Just go bolt-rotor-spacer-hub and you will be fine.
