    skinny problem

    I have the set of my slicks and skinnys but the problem is the fronts will not fit on cause the brakes are too big.. Anyone know what size spacer will allow me to run the 15x3.5 in skinny up front? I really do not want to grind any part of my brakes.

    I think 7/16 will do the trick

    You need to grind that bar off the front of the caliper and it will fit fine with that spacer.
