I was overhauling my cranks/bb today, and when I took apart my mrp g2 sl chain guide to get my cranks off two washers or spacers fell out of the bottom part of the guide. When reinstalling them I had no idea how they were before so I put one on either side of the bearing, now my chain is rubbing, and I am wondering if I can put both spacers on one side to stop it, or if it needs the spacers on either side of the bearing (which is in the roller) to preload it.
Since were on the topic of disc brakes, I made an observation recently that I reckon I ought to share with the forum.
I had the idea to take off the rear Magura Julie HP brake, and try and fit the new Magura MT2 (just to see if it would fit). Alas, it didn't quite fit and so I returned the Julie HP back to it's original position....
BUT
I decided to take the advice of many people on here who swear by 'Isopropyl alcohol' and gave my rotor a good rub down with an Isopropyl alcohol wet-sheet.....
The result? Well......BEFORE, my braking was really high-powered (180mm rear), and had that 'gritty' sand papery texture to it. ...... NOW, after the Alcohol rub, the braking power has been drastically reduced, and now there is this 'Brrrrrrrrrrrr' sound/texture to it.
Verdict? It doesn't look like the Isopropyl Alcohol has done me any favours.... And I'm sorry to have to say this, but it seems like an old wive's tale.
I'm gonna wait this one out....Dude....spare yourself. Throw away that shovel of yours because you dig yourself deeper every post.

Those spacers probably belonged to the top and the bottom guide.

Right here is where the spacers are from, what I did is put one on either side of the roller's bearing, I am wondering if I can put two on one side and none on the other, or if it has to be one on each side. to preload it.
My friend has some Argyle RCs, and he has another spring for them. Is there different argyle springs? Like, different weights? If so, how can he tell them apart?
There are i think three different springs for each fork; soft normal and x-firm. The normal springs have a strip of red paint on one side, and the x-firm ones have black paint. I don't know which colour the soft ones are

You neglect to mention that you apparently soaked your brake in WD40 before this.
