For various reasons, my fork brake mounts are such that the caliper does not mount at a perfect 90 degrees to the rotor without the help of the conical spacers on my Avid juicy calipers (and before anyone suggests it, the can’t be fixed as this would need the removal of material that isn’t spare).
I’m looking to replace my brakes, but I haven’t been impressed with the Juicies for a few reasons (not well made, poor pad wear, sticking pistons), but I need the conical spacer system to get the caliper straight.
I’ve tried adding the spacers to another type of brake as an experiment, but the extra distance makes the caliper sit too far out so the pads lip.
So… am I stuck with Avid, or are there any other brakes that use a conical spacer system?
