That or you can cut a notch in the tray to fit the caliper. Works fine.

yo randyman,
are you in the area at the moment?  i still owe you $20 and need to settle up.  and you can explain the notching to me in a bit more detail.

Ryan,

In Texas at the moment and will be home after a race in Richmond two weeks from now.

All you do when you notch the tray is figure out where the caliper is fouling the tray and cut the material. That's it.

this is right before you start juggling the wheels as you drive around inside a metal sphere of fire right?

*and i may be getting carriers that dont require removal of the front wheel, so the whole point cute be moot.  thanks for looking though.

Carriers now are available without having to notch. I didn't know if you had them already or not.

If you get in a pinch, I have a couple of Velo Vises at home collecting dust if you want, I should be back by mid-next week for a day or so. They're the pre-notched variety as well.

No wall of death there, it was a busy day when that photo was taken though. There's a good chance that I'll be driving the moto as well for a couple of races coming up.

yeah they are pretty cool there.  he mentioned he knew you as well.  i'm happy to be back on 2 wheels. 

and as far as the carriers go randy, i am still low balling people on poortex, so i dont have any in my possession yet.
