  • If I add some spacers/washers between the disk and my hub so that my caliper can move further away will I die?

    Or put spacer on the caliper instead and adjust the pads.

  • Or put spacer on the caliper instead

    Would that be a negative shim? IS brakes mount on the wheel side of the fork tabs. Post mount have oval holes, but I'd imagine @root is already at the limit of that adjustment.

    A bigger rotor and a suitable caliper mount adapter would be one way to get the caliper away from the spokes.

  • Not quite, the Spyres advantage is that both pads can be adjusted, meaning that you can space the caliper a bit further out with a washer and move the pads a little more to the right to compensate.

    This will probably give me the most clearance from the spokes, which can only be a good thing. It also has the advantage of allowing the pads to remain about the centre of the caliper which I assume is good for the even application of force.

    Is there any reason why I couldnt use a 180mm disc with a set of spyres?

    Is it worth spending more on a floaty whatever or is this one sufficient?
