Kirkham Rear Wheel Clearance?
Is anyone else ahving any issues with the rear wheel clearance on their Kirkham?
My brake calipers are incredibly close to the inside of my wheels. Initially, the parking brake assembly fouled the wheel and scoured the inside. I've sort of fixed that, but the main caliper is still very tight and I can't see how that can be adjusted. I keep getting stones trapped between the wheel and the caliper, which makes a horrible noise, but also gouges the wheel and caliper.
I have spoken to Joe and apparently, the machining on the wheels has changed, reducing the clearance, but I'd be interested to know what others are doing about it.
Thanks,
Paul
