Wheel spacers

Post by Boulderbronc »

Wheel spacers? Anyone use them? Im looking to use 1.5" them on my 75 because my disk brakes dust sheilds rub on inner rim.

Is this a good option?

I'd be more inclined to take the dust shields off. Lots of people don't run them.

We run them - 1.5" spacers on all 4. Wider stance and less rubbing...

I prefer not to use them. They are maintenance intensive and just another failure point. You'd be better off with less offset wheels.

I run them because of clearance issues and I like being able to take them off to run narrower trails if needed. Just make sure they are the type that bolt to the rig, then the wheel bolts to them.
