Shimano QR Hub Cone Adjustment
Hi all,
Quick question relating to Shimano QR hub cone adjustment.
Do you 1) leave the tiniest amount of play before installation and let the QR compression take it up?
or 2) Adjust the cones to have zero play prior to installation of the QR?
I have been doing No.1 but not sure if there is enough bearing preload being applied. (There is no lateral play in the wheel once installed)
Interested to know anyones thoughts/experience on this one.
CenterLock Disc Rotors with Avid Brakes and installation...
After a bit more research.. a few more questions:
Has anybody experience with centerlock disc rotors with Avid brakes? Shimano obviously says use centerlock rotors only with Shimano brakes...
What rotor brand did you use?
I could find Avid rotors on CRC in 185 (Shimano apparently only has 180...).
The only 203 I could find was from Shimano.
Do I need a special tool to install the centerlock rotors? Got the impression but couldn't find any conclusive information.
What is it called? Any shop recommendation?
Thanks
Sascha
Disc brake rotors
Well after still having problems with excessive pad wear I'm now contemplating changing disc rotors.
See my previous post for details on the pad wear problems http://nobmob.com/node/8818
A 10km ride this week on a wet track has worn through 50% of my sintered metal pads. And I certainly wasn't dragging the brakes or using them a great deal. By the end of the ride the pads had worn so much that the brake lever was squeezing all the way to the bars before the pads were engaging.
