    Installing Brakes with Radir 12 spoke wheels - Question

    I am wanting to install disc brakes on my bucket. I am currently running radir 12 spoke spindle mount wheels w/o brakes. My question is related to clearance required for the rotor. I am worried that the bolt/nut from the steering rod wishbone piece on the left side will invade the clearance...
