I just picked up a set of FD rims and tried mounting them on my FC. To my disappointment, they didn't fit. They fit the lug pattern, but rub the springs. Are there rim adapters for FC to FD conversion ? Any help would be great.
Thanks,
Jason

 

www.corksport.com sells some spacers that will let you use FD rims.

I wish that something could be easy. Just one day is all I ask.

 

how close? if they just rub a little, go buy some washers and put them on the studs before the wheel... this is like a mini 1.5MM spacer

 

easy??

get the spacers.

put them on.

put the FD wheels on.

what isn't easy about that??

 

25 mil spacers front and back

 

tasty

 

How much are 4 of those spacers?

 

here is a sideshot of my 91 GXL

 

you only need the spacers in front, back should fit good w/out them

 

if you dont put the spacer in the back the rear wheels are sunk in too far.

 

20mm hubsentric spacers all the way around. $120 a pair and the studs had to be pressed in
