Yep, I had to use a 1020 to reach a 1.5" standard o/d rim, so you're after an 810 or an 890 to fit skinnies i'll guess Andy.

I just presumed 730 would be ok until the weekend!  :uglystupid2:  It's having larger diameter 1/8ths fitted, best do some measuring tonite. Why is nowt ever fecking straight forward?!!  :tickedoff:

My MRD Mini has a weinmann 810 fitted on it with pads half down caliper slots and 1" 1/8th skinnies fitted half way in the drop outs if that helps  :daumenhoch:
