Brill, I’ve ordered a second set.
So easy, I’ve no idea why they dont come from the factory with these fitted??

Captivating the rear caliper carrier also makes a massive amount of difference.

Hi Alps,
I'm not sure what you mean but I want to know if it makes it any easier.

Keeps the caliper and carrier in place. Yes makes life a whole lot easier.

Basically spin the spindle so but is on the caliper side. Drill the chain adjuster block and calliper carrier and tap the carrier. Counter sunk bolt so it's flush and bolt them together.

Captive Wheel Spacers

Effectively its a cheap way of making a quick release rear axle as the brake caliper is retained in place when you remove the spindle and wheel. The rear wheel simply slots back into place and you then just push the spindle through and torque it.

Sounds even better..any pics of this ?

Bought a set of these a while ago on recommendation of Loupe & Stuart. Used them for the first time yesterday when changing wheels & what a difference! So much easier than faffing with the oem ones.

I agree about the captive spacers. Not sure what you mean about the other things

In this day and age, I wish manufacturers would put the lip on as standard.

And braided hoses.

Does anyone have the spacer dimensions for the gen 3 cast wheels?

 

[scooby]

theres an easy mod you can do to help wheel changes a lot,basically makes the rear caliper captive,along with captive spacers makes it almost "quick release".

needs a little drilling but very easy to do

 

[Flyingscotsman]

It’s approx 14mm & 19mm (chain side) from 2012-18. Before 2012 sprocket carrier was different with a bigger spacer of approx 24mm.
Hope this helps.

Any idea what the largest outside diameter is? I’m going to order some bar stock and make some captive spacers up when I’m home

 

[Flyingscotsman]

Largest diameter on my old oem ones is just under 60mm (looks like 58.5) on the opposite side to chain.
