I have some questions about installation of some of the 2004
Dura Ace components...First road build so forgive me...
1. I have a braze on clamp on my frame. Do I need to use the washer that comes with the front derailleur bolt? It doesn't seem to work with my clamp. If I don't use it it bolts on fine...?
2. On the brakes...The posts are too short to fit through my carbon fork and carbon rear end(long post is front brake right?). I noticed there is a spacer with a set screw in it. Can that be removed or does it have to be there. If I removed it I would have enough room, but then it looks like the pads would hit the frame. Are there different brake sets for different bikes; ie longer brake posts? Also there is a similar wavy thick washer(like the front derailleur) that doesn't seem to be needed with the brakes. Is it optional?
Just don't want to install anything incorrectly.
Thanks!
