It is finally time to rotate the studs off and swap them for some new spring duds. I had wheels built out this winter for a direct swap - kinda like how I did my 4x-truck tires by having two complete sets.
Alas, I am sad to admit – I goofed and mounted a front hub to a disc rim and completely spaced that this would be a problem. The front shock can take both – so that wasn’t part of the equation. Blame it on cabin fever.
Optimistically, it looks like I can adjust the brake pads to accommodate the rim – it’s just that it is a Mavic EX 729 Disc and the front hub is a 9C 2806 which doesn’t support disc brake to the best of my knowledge.
But the Devil is inside me calling out out! Whatcha think: Should I dare?
… or think wisely and beg off; just swap the studded tire off for a roady. :?
In truth I’d kinda hate to mare the black rim…
What's even more sad is that I've got a big fatty Hookworm mounted on it just waiting to tear-arse!
Standing in the corner, Dunce cap on, looking pitiful...
