Hi All, I hope some of you can help or advise me how to fix the following on the rear wheel of my Optima Raptor. When trying to remove the wheel it gets stuck...
I have sort of the same problem, if you can call it a problem. I simply grab the derailleur cage and pull it back, and the wheel drops right out. The pulleys...
Brad, Pull back on the derailleur body. At least on my Baron, a combination of derailleur pulleys and blocking the freewheel path to drop out AND the head of...
HI John and Craig, Thanks for your help guys - I will pull the derailleur further back and see if the wheel drops out.Why I didn't do it in the first place...
Hi Brad, If you tell us exactly which hub you have, it would be much easier to come up with a solution to your problem. If you don`t know the brand, can you...
I will get some photos tonight and post them up. The wheel is a Sonic brand that came standard with the bike. The hub has an emblem on it so I guess it is a...
Brad, my Raptor rear wheel behaves in the same way and it's normal to have to pull the derailleur 'open' to get the wheel out. It's the same on DFs and you'll...
Mark is a strong rider and puts many thousands on miles on his Baron every year. Ive been able to ride with him on a few occasions. You can see Mark chasing...
I did a little investigating, since I`ve heard of Sonic hubs before but couldn`t remember any details. Sonic hubs are made by HED....I can`t figure out what...
Hi Guys and Gals, I will post the photos tonight but have had locktite put on the axle nut and will see how long it holds. I completed a 30km ride this morning...
Guys, On my Baron, a 700c wheel won't fit! Even with a narrw 700 x 23 tire, it's too big and fouls the cross bar that on which the brake caliper is mounted. I...
The Raptors have a rear caliper brake bracket that is clamped onto the chainstays. What Paul is saying if that can be slid back up the chainstays towards the...
I'm expecting a new frame soon, so maybe I can report back on the 700c wheel. I know that my fork will take a 22x451 front wheel, but so far I haven't ...
The Raptor will only fit a 28mm (1 and 1/8 inch) 406 under the steering head. Even then there is only a few millimetres clearance. I would have to change my...
With regard to a 700c wheel fouling the brake bracket. On the Raptor the bracket is bolted/clamped between the carbon rear arms. The existing bracket can...
I have loaded three photos related to this post. They are in the photo album "Brad's Raptor". 1. The freehub and axle nut 2. The logo on the sonic wheel hub 3....

Sighted in Cape Nelson Road Portland at 10:15 am March 9th a silver grey station wagon (?) rego number PUT436. On top was a bright yellow lowracer - don't know...
G'day Paul, I cannot tell a lie, it was I :-) Yellow 2006 Baron. I was in Heywood for the Southern Series (100, 200, 300, 400, 600) Audax rides - yes the 100...
Hi Simon, Sorry to hear about the injured boom - hopefully a little coat of (West?) Epoxy will minimise the scuff. You met 'Kevin' a somewhat obsessive DF...
Be good if you could get to Wodonga, but I understand. I'm a small engine in a big housing, but the Baron provides a speed improvement with comfort for the...
... It does look alot like that, but the weights don't match up. Nonosport claims 2~2.3 kg for the low rider midi & Optima claims 3kg. Since Optima doesn't...
