    Locating the rear wheel

    That spacer is probably between 1-2cm wide. Mounted in that fashion places the caliper too far in the other direction. Much further than the 1.4mm that it's off presently.

    Locating the rear wheel

    Perhaps so. I may very well give them a jingle before I go to work tomorrow. They're not open on Sun/Mon, and the owner will be back from a trip by then too. I went to high school with they guy and he knows these bikes inside and out, so he will make sure it's right if it's a matter of anything...

    Locating the rear wheel

    Sharpy I appreciate your time and thought on this, I'm sure the answer is looming around the corner. I also think it may be time to rebuild that caliper and do the SS brake line for the rear.

    Locating the rear wheel

    Hah that would be my first inclination. However while searching for similar issues to mine I grasped at the more esoteric definition of 'locating' and... Bingo I notice though that it's under 'general/maintenance', I would have expected such an issue to be in 'tires/suspension/brakes'.

    Locating the rear wheel

    I took my vernier scattergun out and took some measurements: LH (sprocket side) bearings: 9.93mm RH (rotor side) bearings: 10.15mm Both measurements are from the outside perimeter of the bearing to the outside ledge of the hub. More measurements: Rotor thickness: 7.3mm Caliper slot: 10.1mm...

    Stay tuned for photos of what the entire wheel assembly looks like after taking a couple rounds of 00 buck shot.

    Locating the rear wheel

    You are correct Sir. I know this empirically :). Here are some photos of the apparatus in question: An exploded view: Number represent the order the parts go on the axle, with 0 being the axle itself. The taper on 4 faces the LH bearing inside the Rubber Baby Buggy Bumper (did I get that...

    Locating the rear wheel

    If that's the one with the taper facing in then yes I left that on the shaft the whole time (between the paddle thingys). Maybe something will occur to me after I sleep on it. I work tomorrow morning but I think I'm going to pull the wheel off and take a 'sploded pic of everything. It seems so...

    Locating the rear wheel

    With any luck I'm doing something really simple wrong. That would be a lot easier to correct than magic grits. I may have to take some pics and measurements. It's the same setup as the 1000 though, the parts diagrams are eye-dentical.

    Locating the rear wheel

    Holy resurrection Batman! Was this issue ever solved? I just had pretty much the same thing happen to me with two differences - I did not change anything on the sprocket side and tightening the axle nut is what causes the rotor to drag. I took the rear wheel off yesterday to have a tire...

    SH775 R/R ordered Quick question to those that made the switch.

    Yikes! I checked the link from my order confirmation email from when I bought my R/R new from Polaris. $152! In the email I paid $71. I guess it WAS a couple of years ago already. None the less if I couldn't find a used one I'd probably pay $152 for a new one, it just works so well - worry free...

    Glad that's cleared up for you! Maybe you're like me... I read up on a procedure to the Nth degree, I feel all smart like Dr. McCoy putting on the fancy lucite helmet to get the skillz to wire Spock's brain back up, I do the job, then I lose it all, I got nothin'.

    If you know Eric Bang

    I'm sorry to hear this. I know he made his own bed on the forum but I was sorry to see him go and I think quite a few others were also. My best wishes go to him and his family.

    Different take on reflectors

    NJ used to but Christie did away with it, for better or worse.

    Different take on reflectors

    No you got it Rick. Muffin Grade Reflective Material, AKA sprinkles. Thank you Mr. Steve. I still hang out here, I peek on a semi regular basis but comment seldom.
