dimsum Posted October 25, 2016 Share Anyone know of anyone selling a Cotic bFe medium frame? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The expat cyclist Posted October 25, 2016 Share 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?

The expat cyclist Posted October 26, 2016 Share To answer all the questions:1. Solaris - 2013 frame2. 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.

The expat cyclist Posted November 2, 2016 Share 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 have a narrow 2.0 WTB on the back, but it seems pretty well centered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
