#1 Zeus calipers with curly hubs

Does anyone know if the larger vented front calipers/discs from zues cause any clearance issues when used with curly hubs.

Hi Alun,

I’m running that setup and have no issues. My curly hub wheels however, are 6” inches wide, not the standard 5”.

Having said that, if I were buying again, I would go for standard disks, not vented. Unless you plan on spending regular weekends on the track or moving to the Alps, they really aren’t necessary.

Hi Simon,

Many thanks for the response. I came to the same conclusion regarding vented or non vented. Zeus say their 4pots will accept 1/2" discs so I'll probably go non vented with series 2 discs.
