Hi I have just put a 21inch fat spoke front wheel with standard size rotor. The brake caliper is rubbing on the spokes. Wheel is centred with correct spacing. If I put a 15inch rotor and caliper bracket will this solve my problem by making the caliper closer to the rim further away from the centre of the wheel?

 

Which brand of wheel did you fit?

 

That's just one way your motorcycle is telling you not to put that crap on it because it looks stupid and wasn't meant to be.

 

Could you solve the problem by filing the caliper? If it's just lightly striking the spokes you'd be removing only a little metal and not compromising any integrity of the caliper itself.

 

+1 on machining the caliper, as long as you're not in to a fluid passage.

 

Yeah I could probably file it down. I put on attitude fat spoke rims.

 

How much interference do you have?

 

I would say only a few mm. It’s really close just slightly touching the spokes

 

If you space the rotor will the caliper float in and clear?

 

I never had any clearance issues with Attitude Fat spoke wheels.
