I thought they fit under with no problems? A bit of the caliper by the metal clip thing on the front is catching the inside edge of the wheel, hard to explain, ill take a photo. Just going to grind the caliper down a bit where its catching.

Pics:





Top pic shows the bits where it was rubbing, and the second pic shows it on the wheel, the whole fucking way round

Got creative with the grinder and fixed it now anyway, just need to get the cunts bled now.

Seen some of the links below, and indeed, this is a common problem, and it does need to be grinded down.

Isn't it down to some speedlines being a different offset?
