yeah i don't know what to do too, 29 is definitely way too low, you are asking for trouble. but without high disk i really doubt it's going to fit over the bbk

It would be a shame to run the high-disk if you don't need it. You'll likely sacrifice some lip.

Does Endless have a brake template available? You should be able to forward a brake template to the wheel manufacturer and have them examine it against their wheel cross-section. It amazes me how many wheel companies do not have a single person on staff to figure stuff like this out!

Another pet peeve: I like Japanese aftermarket stuff, but they do a horrible job furnishing simple and pertinent technical data such as this. It may take some doing, but try and see if you can get a brake template or PDF file of the brake profile. I do this all the time with companies like StopTech and Brembo (for example, StopTech has THE BEST brake diagrams in the business, by FAR - you can get the diagrams from their web site! This is partly what sold me on their brake system).

Johnny, if I can help, hit me at the office: bhale@zonewheels.com

J it depends a lot on how thw spoke design is for the wheels your getting, Does it have curves like your old ame? or your Gettins? if so that that will help a lot. if its a flat desing than this hurts. One good way to find out is if you pics of the wheels yur getting on another gs. or like Bob said try to get info from endless for that set ups template. Try to find out the width of the new rear caliper your thinking of getting.
