ive just got a set of borbet A's 9x16'' all round. the wheels just touch the calliper slider on the fronts, do people modify the calliper or the wheel to get their borbets on.
im guessing remove a small amount of material from the wheel but just wanted to see if anyone had any cunning ideas/ tips first.

cheers.

Grinding the caliper a little bit is one option. Better would be to put some 1-2mm spacers.

Do not remove any material from the wheel, it'll be unbalanced!

aaah yes very good point mate. yeah its trying to find a 1/2 mm spacer. preferrably 1mm as the tyre is close to the legal/ illegal line of the tyre protruding the arch!

cheers foe the advise bud. will take it easy on the calliper tho :eek: lol
