I am installing brand new '06 160mm Avid Juicy 5s on my new 29er frame and I have just a couple of questions...
1. How much clearance should be between the caliper and spokes? It seems I have about 1mm on the front wheel. If the spokes flex they'll likely hit the caliper. It doesn't seem like I can make this clearance any better.
2. Should the same bracket used to mount the front be used for the rear? I bought two sets of fronts because I got an awesome deal on them. I am waiting on a longer length of hose before I can mount the rear. Just test fitting the rear caliper it seems as if it doesn't want to fit on quite right. I couldn't get the caliper low enough to line up all the mount holes for the rear.
Any info or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
