I cracked open a caliper tonight. Ugh,funky fluid! And why does nobody believe in antisieze???Especially on aluminum? Wall thickness is right at 5mm on these. Not sure what I'm gonna do here. 5mm is only .200''. If I shave 2.5mm off the calipers that only leaves me with 2.5mm.or 0.1'' of clearance to the spokes. I dont feel comfortable shaving any more off the body of the caliper,but I'm not sure that will give me enough clearance.

Do spokes flex that much?

I found it real interesting that these calipers run two different size pistons. I have no idea why. Gotta do some research on that now...
