I bought the above mentioned frame recently and built it up to find there wasn't enough lateral movement in the brake caliper to line up with the rotor. The frame came with a couple of washers/spacers that I used to move the brake caliper over a couple of mm. Is that the intended purpose of these spacers or have I done something wrong?

well my frame didnt have any spacers with it but I got a couple of 6mm washers out of the garage and they worked just fine, so I guess you did the right thing there. Nice frames though, oh and bin the chain tug if your running single speed and get one that works.

Yeah, I've heard the chaintug is a bit rubbish. Running it 1x9 at the moment but plan to have a crack at singlespeed at some point. Should be easy enough to switch back and forth between the two once I get a singlespeed rear wheel.
