Rim brake caliper spacer
I recently fitted some tiagra 4600 calipers to a defy 2 and encountered a slight problem. With a washer (2mm) fitted, the pad cartridge holders hit the fork whilst the cable is unattached. This made fitting the calipers a bit awkward, I had to remove the pad holders until the cable was attached.
Once the cable is attached, this 'problem' becomes less apparent as there is a small amount of clearance when the cable tension/pad spacer is set, and the qr allows the wheel to be removed.
Would it be ok to add a second spacer to give the pad holders sufficient clearance? I'm currently using the longest pivot nut.

Sounds a good idea to use an extra washer.
So long as the pivot nut will still tighten down onto the pivot bolt all shoould be fine.0 -
