The COTIC thread

[V12man]

I have a Cotic issue at the moment. Recently I noticed that the clearance between the rear tyre and the left chainstay (non drive side) is a lot smaller than the clearance on the right (drive side). Roughly about 4-6mm. The tyre is not rubbing against the frame (except if it gets muddy) and the inside clearance between the dropouts is 135mm on the dot. Dropouts are also in line.

 

I would like to know if this is just on my bike?

Anywhere I can take it that can do cold setting maybe? - Frame is out of warranty.

 

Or should I just leave it?

Take the wheel to Anton at Summit cycles in midrand and ask him to check the dishing - and if it's wrong, to fix it - it's far more likely to be the wheel than the frame.

To answer all the questions:

1. Solaris - 2013 frame

2. I had the wheel checked for the dish and it was fine. However, the tyre was still on so I shall do it properly with the tyre off.

 

Would really be disappointed if it is the wheel.

 

I'll keep you posted.

Ok so the wheel is fine...I think.

Basic check was this: Took the casette off and put the wheel in the wrong way round. The gap between the tyre and the drive side was the same as before, ergo dish of wheel is fine.

I need to take pictures of the gaps but what is a normal gap aon a cotic solaris with 2.25 tyres?

I looked at my Solaris last night. I have a narrow 2.0 WTB on the back, but it seems pretty well centered.

This could be the reason...

Have the same thing on my cotic simple SS, also running 2.25.

Joined the Cotic family with my Solaris. Loving the bike. Did a 3:40 ride on it last week and my butt was fine. My old hard tail was tough on the derriere

 

Bike is still a work in progress

 

Dropping the FD and going 1 by with a Sunrace wide range casssette

 

Half upgraded the brakes. Front already done with Sram Guide RS. 

 

Running Maxxis High Roller 2 on the front (fantastic tyre) and Maxxis Ardent on the back (not so fantastic tyre). Want to use a Maxxis Minion SS at the back but can't find them anywhere in SA. 

 

Rapide TrailRacer wheel set with 27 mm internal width rims

 

45mm stem with riser bars also from Rapide. 

 

DMR V12 pedals for short rides and tricky stuff. SPD's for everything else.
