Disk Brake Problems!?

Hey There!

So I'm assembling my first E-Bike which is basically a Vitus Gravir dual susp frame with all of the componentry of my "07 Giant XTC
(it uses Avid Juicy Hydro brakes with 160mm rotors)

I am using a Crystalyte H4040 motor and the first thing I noticed was when I mounted up the rotor the hydraulic calliper would hit on the motor,
so I decided I would use a smaller rotor behind it to space it out, enough that it would clear ( literally 1mm clearance )

So I thought I would be sweet until I went to mount up the calliper and bam it was out by like another 10mm...

I spaced the calliper across with a few washers and as ghetto as it looks it actually works quiet well, with little to no resistance.

HOWEVER... I don't like it like that, It scares me.

Has anyone else come across this issue and if so how did you fix it?

i have several thousand miles with the same fix and no problems

Yeah we all have those issues with all the motors. I machined up a disc spacer so that my caliper mounts on the swingarm without spacing washers and it's perfect. Nothing's ever simple with these diy ebikes! 8)

minas i heard you may have mated the crystalyte to lyens controller from newb? could you please post the phase/hall info please!

needed urgently...

looking at your post count im not holding my breath.
