  • I just fitted 45mm bluemels to my vitus Energie VR, and have 2 issues:

    1. The thru axle handle fouls on the bolt that attaches the rear stay.

    2. The rear stays are borderline too short.

    To solve 1 I think I either need some low profile bolts (is this even a thing?) or a new thru axle. Anything else I could do that I haven't thought of yet?

    To solve 2 I think I need to either find somewhere I can buy longer stays, or drill a hole in the rear mudguard so that the whole thing can rotate to get closer to the bottom bracket at the front.

    Anyone else with more experience got better ideas?
