I tried my V6 Brake setup today but my Allesio's catch on the calliper.

What size spacers do I need to correct this?

Are there different types of V6 Callipers that dont need spacers?

Thanks

Mine dont rub, however are about 1/2 1mm from the spokes.

Wish I had known before I needed to get the grinder out, as they are all painted and shiny now. :(

I really dont understand why they are touching mate? They should just about clear, everyone else with allesios and v6 brakes have no trouble!

Nah, mine caught too.
Need to remove a tiny bit from the bottom of the caliper.

My 2L brakes rubbed too on my allessios! Its due to th espoke design.

Mine cleared but only just, can barely get a piece of paper between calliper and spoke. Strange how some peoples catch and some don't though!
