After getting my new airfoil wheelset upgrade for my radial 360, I was
disapointed to see how far off to one side the new wheelset sits in the
stock frame. I know the stock frames on these things are mass produced,
but it is about 3/8" off from center of the frame and It causes
problems with my brake set-up.
I have no way to easily check the dish on the new or old wheelset, but
I'm assuming that UDC's new wheelset would be zero dish. It appears
that the frame legs are actually slightly different lengths. For the
past year, the stock wheelset ran in the center of this frame, which
leads me to believe that the stock steel wheelset may have been "trued
to the frame" and may have a slight dish to make up for the frame
problem. Is this a common problem?
I found some hard rubber shims that UDC sent me with a Nimbus frame
last year, and tried these out to make up the difference, but this
leaves the bearing cap bolts too short: the nylon part of the locknut
on the bearing cap won't make contact with the bolt. Any ideas? Do I
need a new frame or????
Thanks for the ideas.
