p3 question! having problems with cutout
Quote | Reply
Hey, as we all know the back wheel on the P3, P3SL, and P3C are very very close to the frame.

I see some people asking how close it should be ideally...my question is HOW do you change it?

Any advice would be much appreciated-

Take the back wheel out, and you'll notice a tiny screw on teh inside of each dropout (where the axle goes).

This screw is essentially the stopped for the wheel axel, and whether it's turned or out determines the distance from the cutout.

Make sure they're even.

Now - how to make them even - I do this every time I move them.

Take a long handle allen - 3mm I think it is - put both screws all the way in.

Bring the screw back out noting how many turns or half turns of the wrench you make - be sure both are the same number of turns.

On my frame a Zipp 909 w/Corsa CX needs 3.5 turns.

Neucleons w/Pro Race 5 turns

What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about?

Is there an advantage to making them AS close as possible?

Is there a diff between 2mm and 5mm? Its hard to tell unless you look really closely, and it'll prevent the tire from ever rubbing & stones getting caught...

Do you do this the opposite way below the equator?
