Anyone running Avid brakes without the pita 'tri-align' washers?
The disc tabs on the back of my Humuhumu are ones that I added and I forgot that the previous setup, an FSR sharkfin adapter, required me to install some extra washers under the tri-align ones to space the caliper out a bit so I've basically welded the tab on in slightly the wrong position.
However, with the next size up is/post adapter and no tri-align washers everything fits nicely and since the convex washers on the bb7 on the front of my Day One cracked and fell out the other day I'm kinda thinking missing them might be a good idea. I have access to facing tools if I wanted to go down that route but even without facing the caliper seems to be aligned to the rotor pretty well.
