Hello,
I'm have issues with my front caliper rubbing the rotor. It rubs the right(outside) of the caliper. Someone suggested that the wheel spacers may be off. They look good to me. They are very different from one another that I don't think they are reversed. Does anyone know how the are supposed to go? I have the smaller one on the right side. Sound right?

2000 M2 Cyclone

Thanks

Difficult to measure, but I measure between the flat parts of the hub and fork, closest together, left and right 18 mm (0.7 inch)'
(The rotor is bolted on the hub, around the elevated part of the hub, and so a few mm closer to the fork.)
We are speaking about the 2000 M2.

There are some thin washer type spacers that need to be fit between the caliper and its mounting bosses where the bolts screw into. Without those spacers correctly installed, the symptoms you describe will occur.
