I'm intalling a set of RC Component Czar wheels on my bike, and I'm having a hard time keeping the tire from rubbing the front fender. I've taped a 1/4" thick nut to the wheel and drilled the mounting holes out to 3/8". How much did you have to grind to keep it from rubbing? I'm afaid to grid out to much and make the mounts weak. Any help would be great.

 

you have the right idea...open up the rear hole on each side of the fender and lift the fender in the rear when tighting down.

+1 I used a pneumatic rotary tool to 'elongate' the rear hole. I believe I ended up removing about 1/4" ---good luck

 

Elongated the Rear Holes and then added a corrugated Lock washer (to make sure it didn't slip) and then Held the Rear Fender Up while Tightening

 

If you think you are out of room to drill on the rear holes, then punch the front ones out a few sizes too, it's the good ole see-saw effect, when you lift up on the bottom the bigger front holes will allow the fender to rotate even more. I punched out both my front and rear equally and I'm fine.

 

all these replys are great i hope you are running metzlers because they dont swell like an avon does, good luck

 

Plus let's see those Czars!!

 

Hey guys, thanks for all the quick responses. I was just afraid to keep grinding on em. Looks like I've just about got it now. Yeah, I'm running a Metz and I'll get pics up just as soon as I get it back together. Just have to run the new brake line and put on the new Hawg Halter caliper. Rear end is done and looks SICK, I love it.

 

Here is a quick shot of where it is now.

 

real nice taste looks great
