I`ve been building up my other Baron and its pretty close to being
finished, but I just ran into a problem I have not seen before. This
particular Baron is a standard Baron with a set of new Velocity
Thracian wheels on it. I just received a new set of Avid mechanical
disc brakes for it today, so I pulled the wheels and installed the
rotors on the hubs. I had no problem re-installing the rear wheel, but
when I installed the front wheel I found that the rotor rubs on the
fork. As far as I can tell, it looks like the fork is the problem.
This particular fork is a bit different than any other fork I have
seen on a Baron. It looks just like your average Baron disc brake fork
except that the dropouts are reversed. I`ve seen many Baron forks, but
this is the only one I`ve ever seen with reversed dropouts, although
they don`t seem to have anything to do with the problem. Actually, the
fork seems to have been built incorrectly, particularly the left fork
leg. The bend in the fork leg seems to curve inward sooner than it
should. Can someone with disc brakes on their Baron tell me how much
space there is between the front rotor and the left fork leg?
