ok now i need some help.
a have a EJ8 on HX wheels, and the caliper is a lil big, but for now i used washers. and i just want to know whats a better idea, either shaving off that extra piece of caliper thats not needed or spacers. whats smarter??

 

Shaving the caliper. That's what I'd do.

I've seen it done much more than putting spacers, but I could be wrong.

 

shave it...

This is what I commonly see, just make sure you don't shave too deeply and you'll be fine.

 

thanks guys, will shave then
EDIT: does anyone have a pic of it shaved, on/or why is it better?

 

Whatever you do, I'd get the washers off there as soon as possible.

 

yea ima do that, but why asap??

 

Because the washers can have slight variations in thickness that can introduce wobble and vibration into the hub and bearings, which is not good.

 

yea tue. i got them all the same size thos so that aint a problem and for now i check the nuts before every ride, but i will be romoving them this weekend
thanks

[b]The key word is "slight variations".
