Maintenance On New Konker SM200 (Qingqi, Qlink)

[ivojara]

Yep - when fiddling with my Loncin/CCM I noticed the new knobbly front tyre is close to the fork gaiter on the LH side but clears the RH side by about 1/4". Does seem to be a common thing - even my 2008 XTZ660 Tenere had the wheel offset to one side ...

Intention with the CCM is to turn up a new LH side wheel spacer say 1/8" longer than the original - the caliper self centres so this should sort the "issue" - will let you know how I get on . I suspect it is nothing more than a cosmetic problem but it bothers me every time I notice it !!

Just an assumption, since the bike has one brake disc and the caliper is braced to one side of the fork, could this offset be helpful in preventing side pull when braking ? I just had the idea but it's the only explanation I could think of since this happens in at least three different bikes (mentioned in the thread).

just my 2c
