BB7s are supposed to have washers on the top and the bottom of the adaptor.
Incorrect rotor size perhaps?

I probably should have been a bit clearer, they have the washers above and below, but an extra washer below the bottom conical ones, similar size to what you get behind caliper brakes. (So a total of 5 big washers per bolt, instead of the 4 you'd expect).
They don't appear on any of the BB7 images either. I reckon original owner added them for pad tab clearance.

Is there a list of calipers that are supposed to have washers on and how many etc? I'm never sure if some of them are just bodges, or if they're by design...

BB7s with the conical washers, but an extra one underneath too that I've removed now. (Pads sit on the rotor evenly now).
Only need to cut that end 'knob' off, so still some tab to remove. Avid say theyre extra long anyway.
Just checking they don't serve some purpose beyond removal that I don't know about.
I can only need to tak
