Large Marge wheelbuild FYI



A Joe Rowing "Blizzard" 2-tube frame. It fits this wheel, but just
barely. I am also gonna TIG weld a double set of Magura brake bosses,
so the frame will accept both regular width muni rims such as the
DX-32, and the Large Marge 65mm rim. I'll post a pic of the frame after
the welding is done.

I dont think the double mounts will work. I welded some mounts on my
Hunter and had to carve the backside of the brake pads. The spacing of
the mounts are 120MM eye to eye, clearance will be an issue. Make sure
you use a longer Magura cross tube.

Nice paint job Dirtsurfer!
I plan to modify the pads a bit. Here's a pic of mine as the paint was
drying; the outside mounts are likewise 120mm.

Scott Wallis has designed some adapters that fit onto regular sized
brake mounts and they work great for the LM rim. You will also find
that your calf will hit the brakes as they stick out pretty far. I had
to put an extra piece of foam inside my shin guards, and slowly get
used to keeping my feet a little wider on the pedals. Takes a little
while to get the whole thing dialed in.
