Hi,
I have a new set (2 pairs) of the Cantilever brake BR-M900. The brake are in the original condition.
As you can see on the pictures there is a copper washer between the brake body and the bushing (I don't know the right term). Each of my brakes have this copper washer.
My question:
I stood out that both the Cantilever sockets and the bushings often have different length; the tolerances are up to 0,4 mm.
e.g. my front brake:
the left brake body works smoothy because there is a little space between the body and the bolt.
But the right brake body has no space, because of that the body is sanding at the bolt.
Is it possible that the copper washer was made to clear the tolerances and you can remove it if it's neccessary ?
Best regards
Christian
