gasgasssser Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 hi chippy,did you find the wheel steady ok?? Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipy Posted April 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 Yes thanks mate. I welded a plate on it and gave it a coat of hammerite. Done the job. Quick question: Should the front disk have movement on it? Chip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_290 Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 About the front disc, I don't think it should, I noticed with mine today, when I press down on the forks and have the front break on, it kind of clunks, I've found that the disc is moving and it will probably need tightening up.

shercool Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 the front discs are floating discs, so there will be a bit of movement there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy_290 Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 Depends how much they're moving, best tighten them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipy Posted April 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 Il do both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gasgasssser Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 (edited) The disc MUST be floating.The action of the forks fully compressing when brake is on,puts pressure on the caliper.See technical sections.

sirsherco1 Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 Thats why they are called floating disks ,must have some movement or they are not floaters .Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
