As I rememebr - on the front wheel left and right spacer are different. Rear are the same.

[NYKIE]

Yes that is correct the spacers are a different size!

i can't understand why though as it makes the brake disc awfully close to the fork leg!!

[yeurman]

The big spacer goes on the left side (when looking at the bike from the front) not wanting to be too nerdy, but also make sure the wheel is in correctly, check rotation indicator on the tyre.

Yeah that's right the shoulder on the spindle butts up against the shorter spacer to make up the extra length.

please look at these pictures and you can see that the brake disc is hitting the inside of the left fork?? with the spacers setup correctly????

The gap on my right hand side between the rotor and the fork is about 5-7mm.
