    I used half of a wooden peg, did the job nicely.

    Oops. I’ve done 12 identical custom bike builds recently (Ambulance fleet) and I’ve therefore thrown 24 of those bleed blocks in the bin….. 🙂

    Cut a business card up into uniform pieces, glue the bits together and make a ghetto spacer?

    Or get a pencil eraser and cut it up to fit.

    Four 2p pieces also do the job.

    Costs 8p, but this is refundable at the end.
