(!) Light I think it was.
Brake fluid might make sense as I did front calipre there recently. But only on the left turns? weird huh.

Any way, I'll top her up and bleed it again.
Thanks all.

in fairness, my wheels stuck out the arch far to much to be legal and i was neverpulled....

i dont run spacers any more but my tyres still stick out abit, the other option to spacers are wheels with a better 'offset' this means they are made with the mounting plate closer to the edge of the tyre (meaning it sticks out as far as spacers) with out using spacers,

a good set of wheels are the mach 5

which have great offset

Hi there,

My advice re: Spacers is don't buy them from the road except the highest quality ones.

Instead, buy offset wheels from Rhino Ray.
