Does anyone have clearance issues using this lockring on the forks in particular? I've got the RS4 hubs too in 12mm flavour and find the to be only about 1mm clearance to the fork. I worry that with some slight flex when out of saddle it could damage the fork. Any way around this?

Hunt sell a regular or slim version, maybe that would do it?

Not something I've encountered, 1mm is loads anyway, get a bigger lock ring.

I dont think your fork can flex 1mm so close to the axle.

The lockring from this shimano kit is only 2mm thick (but is more annoying to tighten as the tool can slip easily( and has 1mm more threading than other lockrings so could bottom out))
