Thats what it is as they do fit and you dont really have to space them out anywhere nar as much as reylands (with speedlines)as the calipers are smaller in comparison

you can get some bells made up which are deeper, so the disc sits further away from the wheel, then just alter the caliper braket slightly, and you shouldnt need spacers

cant be bothered spending more £££'s on new bells

maybe the speedlines will be sold in favour of some wheels that actually allow proper brakes to be fitted.

My Reylands needed spacers but im told his later kits were better. If the usher hadn't done some magic on them they wouldn't of fitted behind the 17" MO's without spacers, so the early kits I think were a bit poor.

its not so much the size of the disk but the way the caliper catches the spoke.
