| Post subject: | Clearance between rim spoke and caliper |
I'm almost done with my disc brake conversion and need some advice. So the rim spoke is just rubbing the caliper (cragars  yay). I am using washers as a gauge for the rim spacer size I need, I want to keep the spacer as small as possible.What is the minimum space I should have between the caliper and spoke? Is 1/8" to little? |

I had to grind the calipers on the rear of the Valaint to clear the rims....its not unusual. As long as they clear it doesnt matter how much. |

Thanks, that is what I needed to know.  My only concern was that the area on the caliper that needs grinding are the cast "supporting ribs" on the stationary side.

Be sure to measure with a new outboard pad. As it wears, you'll get even more clearance. |
