Hi guys, it's been a long time!

Anyway, I've just upgraded my front rotor and adaptor from 165mm to 203mm. My caliper is Avid BB7. Fork is Identiti Rebate.

Everything's fitted and working, but the pad hangs 2-3mm off the edge of the rotor so I'm not using all the braking surface. The disc and adapter are both 203mm, not 200mm.

I'm wondering if there is a thinner version of the "cup and ball angle adjuster funky washers" that sit between the caliper and the adaptor so I can move it inwards a bit more? I could use normal washers in place of them, but I can't imagine regular washers being perfectly flat. I'm not buying a new adapter when it's only 2-3mm out.

Can anybody pass on some wisdom?

This is the kind of thing, where you go down to the local bike shop, and if they know you and are cool, you can dig through a box of brake pieces and rig up something that works--there are definitely bridges/mounts of different size and shape... I don't know about thinner "funky washers." I know that doesn't help much, but ... Wink
