Default Wheel Machining

If both Vintage and Trigo have all those in the same place, then they are truly interchangable. If they don't, then they aren't.

Larry,

I understand what you are saying, but is it not true that the wheels seat on the face of the rotor, not the angle? If that is true, then the wheels must be machined enough to clear the angles, not touch at all. Therefore the angle height and the angle itself do not matter as long as it clears the wheel.

Are we on the same page yet?
