I mounted my front brake, the mount that goes to the fork has some left to right adjustment. This is a direct mount type of set up so no spacer washers to adjust left and right mounting. I moved it all the way outside IE: away from the caliper. the problem is my rotor doesn't sit far enough outside and rubs the outside brake pad. Do I adjust the front hub IE; lossen one side and tighten the other to shift the hub to the inside? It is a Hadley if this helps?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

how much does it rub, and are the pads even in the middle

I can spin the wheel about three times before stopping.

first try squeezing the brake and pushing the rotor over with the brakes depressed.

Is this a thru axle hub? If so make sure that the spacers on the outside of the hub are seated properly.

Ya it's on a dorado, hope 6ti
It's a hadley so there really isn't the floating spacers like a hope hub.

I suppose you have moved the caliper to the outside, not the rotor...

As you know the axle on the Dorado holds the hub in position against the inside of the left dropout. The axle bolt is tightened first, do not tighten this much, just until it stops. Then the pinch bolts in the left dropout are tightened. The bolts in the right dropout are tightened after you have compressed the fork a couple of times (when the dropout has found its natural position).

If you then have a gap between the hub and the inside of the right dropout you could put in a spacer on the left side (the spacer can not be thicker than the gap, you should not alter the ideal distance between the dropouts). This would move the hub to the right which is probably what you want to do.

Personally I think I would have choosen the easy alternative, to use a round file and make the holes in the caliper a little "wider" towards the inside. I have never done that on a Hope brake but on a Hayes you easily get a milimetre without any problems. If you can spin the wheel three times before it stops I reckon you will not need more than a mm anyway.

What year Hopes are they?

 

[cederrowe]

Ya I think the round file might be the ticket

As far as the year hopes, they are the ones that a IS mount bolts to? Not sure what year that is I think 05'

I think I have had this problem too once....if I understand what your saying....you can get U shaped spacers to put between your brake mounts and the caliper, so you can space your caliper in rather that the disk....or you could just get out the dremel and get to grindn'. lol
