Avid Arch Supremes...more help required!

Carl,

although the washers are officially 'crucial', i have run them without without issue. and they are v similar to the exposed bearing on an ultimate (at the back) and they don't use washers, so that'll probably be ok.

They'll also run for ages with notchy bearings.

Whilst it's true, you are a tart I think it's totally a case of getting what you expected in this case - if you'd been expecting a little faff you'd have been prepared and it probably wouldn't have bothered you...

Everybody's happy now though I hope, and I can recommend those m950 levers, just lovely... Hope you're not regretting helping me out now! :shock:

 

[stinus]

can some one show me a pic of the "right" set up?

what is wrong here:

is the washer are not mend to go on the front like on the Ultimate?

this shot is from the 1998 catalog, i cant see them???

According to the manual you have to slide the washers onto the brake bosses first. Then slide over the brake arms.

 

[stinus]

so the are behind the brake arm?

Yes behind the brake arm.
