I'm looking to replace the cup and cone washers on my Code brakes...I can't get them quite flat square and my pad wear means I have 1 pad with a thick bottom and thinner top and the other with a thinner bottom and fatter top.
I'd like to replace those with a single washer/spacer but have no idea where to find the thing that size.
I'd prefer not to add umpteen wafer thin washers, so where can I find replacement spacer parts that could replace the cup and cone washer part please?
Tried some searches but failed as I'm not sure what I'm looking for - washer seems to return 1mm thick options (which I think I've got plenty of) but surely I could get a single item that would replace those 2 parts and be solid instead of multiple bits...I just can't find it!
This has stemmed from me buying new rotors from Superstar after someone posted the deal and realising I need to shim my caliper out by 1.5mm and then remembering about those annoying cup and cone parts.
Thanks.
Maybe controversial but I just throw the cup-n-cone washers away and the caliper goes straight on the correct brake mount which cost under a fiver...
Got the right adapter ordered and shorter bolts so I can ditch the cup and cone spacers...would have helped if I'd been looking at the brake when I posted as I'd have spotted the cup and cone was above the brake mount so shorter bolts would have been the obvious answer!
I just use normal washers when I need them.
Sounds like the brake mounts need facing?
The cone washers under the calliper are there to allow the brake mounts to be wrong in just about every dimension and axis.
The cones above the calliper are there because if you have the type of adapter that the bolts run straight through to the fork/frame then the calliper is no longer perpendicular to them so the cones just take up that 'wedge' under the head of the bolt.
So if you have irregular pad wear and no cones under the calliper then the brake mounts aren't as they should be.
Absolutely agree...but I do have cup and cone and so I'm going to remove them as I'm sure they turn as I give the bolts a final nip.
