Rear Brake Caliper

[gncgray]

Morning all

 

Is there a right and wrong way to put the rear calipers on? I have mine towards the back of the disc.

As long as it's solidly mounted it will work as a leading or trailing edge. However there are other issues that may dictate your choice! Handbrake cable route is one to consider for the zero I believe? I'm sure someone will give you the definitive answer. It may mean that your nipples have to hang down meaning the caliper comes off for bleeding.

Hi,

 

The zero calipers only fit one way round, the brackets are handed as you will find out. - See

If you have managed to get them to fit with the caliper to the rear - How? I managed to fit one side but found that the bolts would not accurately line up and when I tried the other side it was much worse. When I swapped them round, everything fitted perfectly.

 

So this means the calipers HAVE to come off for bleeding air out of them. (Stick a spacer between the pads while doing this)
