13" Compomotives over sierra calipers - touches
Hi guys,
I am running 13" Compomotive CXRs on the rear with Sierra discbrakes. Just fitted the wheels properly and everything is fine...except for the
wheel weights stuck to the inside of the rim, which touch the handbrake spring.
Did anyone else have this issue? What was your solution?
I am thinking of having another set of springs made by a professional that is maybe thicker spring, but less turns, so it would fit... but I might be
missing the obvious...
I will also try to fiddle a bit with the caliper and the caliper holder to see if that solves something...
Thanks!
Gergely

can't you just move the weights over a bit? or use clip on weights on the inside rim? I have some good quality Goodyear road/race tires and they
never need any balance weights
just a thought, for years I never bothered with weights on the back wheels as usually you can't even feel the difference unlike the front
wheels.

IICR, i goes well with MNRs' rear hub. maybe a small spacer could do the job (use one when i put crx rims on my mk indy)
hope that helps

I would take the wheels to a tyre fitter and have them rebalanced moving the weights sideways away from the area of the caliper. I doubt the weights
would restick if you moved them yourself as the sticky part is usually left behind when they are removed.
got to be the easiest solution.
