Locating the rear wheel

Why do you keep asking about the sprocket bolts? They do naturally want to fall back in to the carrier, and I had to lean the wheel over and lightly tap to make sure they extended. Then I put the nuts on all 6 and torqued to spec- it was pretty simple.

I'll play around with the caliper pistons tomorrow, and see if the brake will "self-align" once it gets some pressure. Not sure though- the caliper is *really* pinching the rotor, there's no wiggle at all to it.

That third piece from the left (silver)- that's #7 on the parts diagram, and lives inside the wheel hub, correct? The only thing visible from the left side of my wheel is the bearing #14, and my double-flanged spacer (2nd from left in your picture) fits snugly into this bearing. The right side is exactly as you have shown.

That wheel hub as you say, the correct term is sprocket carrier. and yes that stepped spacer sits inside it and into the large bearing. The same area where you should be looking to see it those sprocket bolts have fallen out of the slot they sit in. Also push ure caliper pistons all the way back in. then mount the wheel them pump the brake pedal to get pressure again. Seems those outer pistons are holding the caliper to the right, causing friction.

Probably not Cipher- the left pad isn't contacting the rotor at all, so there's plenty of room. The rotor is right up against the caliper itself.

anychance yah depressed the rear brake pedal?
that would push out the pistons.

This is all the info u SHOULD need....



Also take the sprocket carrier off and double check if the bolts are sitting correctly INSIDE the carrier. Bolt the sprocket up to it while its apart. Bolts do fall inside it a little

Alright, I've made one change- the thick washer #16 was inside the caliper V-mount, instead of outside. I've made that correction, but the wheel *still* does not spin freely without the rotors grabbing.

I made sure to leave the axle nut loose while I adjusted each side's adjustment screws to make sure the wheel is straight, and the first time I did that, the wheel was indeed spinning free. However, as soon as I started to tighten the castle nut, the rotor immediately got pinched. It's just not centered in the caliper, and I'm reaching wits-end on what I'm missing.

In your photo the spacer beside the sprocket is wrong. I think it belongs on the other side and inserts into the seal between the wheel and the caliper. You can see the wear marks on it where it fits into the seal.

That's what it looks like. Next time take pictures of everything as you go.

remove the caliper from disc then tighten axle
put caliper back on
this maybe just some play?

nope 2 is th wheel bearing

Isn't that part #6? Or is that #2, and what I've got as 2 is really 16?

Morning update: Here's the wheel off the bike, and the associated spacers I've got (in the order they were installed). The wheel hub has never come apart (evidenced by the dirt on left side of hub around bolt heads), so I don't think the problem is internal to the wheel.

Thoughts?

I double-checked 2, 5, and 6, but you're right, #7 is buried in the wheel. I'll take it off tomorrow and report back what I find.

Looks like u have right spacer behind the caliper bracket... https://sites.create-cdn.net/siteima...04/400x400.jpg
As for #7 bolts located correctly just double check but looks like enough thread poking out. The have one flat area that need to recess into the sprocket carrier. Need to remove the wheel to double check.
