Re: Rotors, calipers and wheels

Bill,
I went with Baer 4 piston Alcons and 13" rotors, but in a 16" wheel. No way that setup would fit a 15" with a rotor that big. Even with a 16" wheel, there wasn't room to run a two piece rotor that big, so it's a single piece rotor.

I had downloaded the templates Baer provides and they showed the calipers to be VERY close to the wheels using stock brackets. PBR's were also close.

Your best bet is to do what I did. Talk to Ben O'Conner at Baer. I ended up sending an upright/spindle/wheel assembly to them so they could see what they could fit. Took them a while to work my project in, but it ended up they were able to use in stock brackets from another application to fit the calipers.
They would have been probably too close to call by using the templates only, plus the templates are made to check clearance of the caliper to wheel using "stock" caliper mounting brackets. Using different brackets as was done in my case worked out well.

Dave
