What exactly is the difference between the brakes besides rotor and hub thickness? I have the HD brakes and western chassis drop spindles currently. But I'm looking at getting some 20's because the 22's rub when braking and turning. I also have a set of western chassis drop spindles for the LD brakes. Do the HD spindles push out the track width?
