Wheels don't fit brakes! - Lateral-g Forums

I spent a ton of hours today assembling my subframe and brakes only to find out that the Fesler (Baer) hub is too big to go into the hole on the inside of my Fesler wheel.

What do I do now?

Do I need to have my wheel taken apart and have the hole machined bigger?

Hey John -- I had something similar happen to me with Asanti wheels (same as the fesler stuff) I had to have the wheel taken apart and machined and also had to modify the centre cap, I feel your pain it sucks! Maybe you'll have better luck than me and not had take apart the wheel.

You would think they would make them bigger to fit the Baer brake kit they put their name on.

Was looking at your pics and the calipers appeared to be high on the rotor...it may just be the angle. I assume the brake pads are at the top edge of the rotor when installed.
