• Tyre clearance has unsurprisingly become an issue. Fronts are a-ok with the 28c, rears….not so much.

    Clears brake bridge by 1-2mm, not ideal but it’s workable. However the Sram Aerolink brakes sit a few mm lower. No dice.

    Suck it up and just go to 25mm or swap the brakes for R8000000 which seem to have a mountings point that allows more clearance?

  • I would test it if you can before buying new calipers. R8000 do have good clearance but my recollection is they still have a small measure of drop from the mounting boss so might foul. I've said it a few times before but Sram Rival 22 calipers have the best clearance i have found in a short reach caliper. The caliper arms sit flush with the underside of the mounting boss so you (should) retain what ever clearance you have at the bridge.

  • yeah thats the plan, trying to borrow one. wiggle have the r7000 on at 14.99 so might just pick that up as a tester.

    thanks for the heads up on the Rivals!
