29er / Re: My 256SL build
« on: January 19, 2015, 08:55:41 PM »the supports for the brake caliper are crooked, the inside part is lower than the outside and the caliper gets angle... i did not deserve this...
i put a nylon washer i had just on the inside part of the supports (not on the srew, just on the outside and between the screw and the support), to "uncrooke", or to compensate the "crookness" and it bloody works, but i cannot see a solution for this OMG!
this is the result without any compensation
in the photo attached you can see the caliper crooked and like this there is no way i can ride the bike, the rotor scraches constantly the inside of the caliper, on the top on the outside and on the bottom on the inside.
the supports on the frame for the caliper are tilted for the inside, crooked, they are higher on the ouside then on the inside, when you fasten the screw it all goes weel until you get to the end and it forces the caliper and the face of the support to touch, the caliper starts to tilt to the inside and from there all goes wrong.
Hi, dear Mr Arraider, I am so sorry to heard that bad news, both we want everything is ok, unfortunately, we come upon this time.....actually, I should tell everybody here, our frames, every one been tested and passed the brake test. we screwed brake on the frames!!! Surley I do not want to pass the buck to anybody or anything, but do you mind confirm something?
1. did you use the right tools?
2. did you screw the bolts violently when it is not smoomthly, especially the firt time? because the thread will be broken when you do like that, and never been paired.
I think everyone here know this truth that the IP-256SL is a good frame, man. what we can do is how to slove this problem since it happened, isn't it?
So sorry for my words, surley we will try our best to serve for you guys, actually, we are doing now. thanks .
