Spacing Out A Rear Wheel On A Chopper PT1

Trick & Tips on how I go about spacing a rear wheel on a chopper build. Gotta watch it all to get the nuggets. Hopefully this makes sense and if I only make things harder for you.... my bad. Here in part 1 we mainly go over spacing out the caliper and what not. Part 2 we finish out the wheel in the bike.

Garage chopper guy without a lathe...Mark aluminum spacer a tad proud then bring it down with a belt sander. Hold spacer as flat as possible by using a stepped socket that slips inside but stops on the step. Bring it to spec slowly and measure a lot. Steel spacers, head to someone that has a lathe haha.

Could have put .066 spacer in-between caliper and rotor, then clamped. Then your spacer measurement would be exact

[@LoveHipHopLifeStyle]

Nice bike. What frame did you use for the project?

[@hawg_pound]

It’s a Santee

I wish I had a lathe. And I was the 66th like peace ✌️

Where did u get that brake stay and caliper?

[@karensavarese5684]

Reworking the caliper mount would be easier than redishing the wheel. Im no math wizz either, but can do shop math like that in my head. Want me to come and help? Retired Kat,,movin on,,,,Love,,,DUBS,,,,,
