I tried out some aluminum replacements for the steering block and C hub on my BR 3S. What’s an acceptable clearance between the block and the hub at the part where the screw comes in?
* The stock parts have close to 0.
* The aluminum steering block with the stock hub is 0.2 mm… seems to be okay after the two flanged tubes bring it close to 0.
* The aluminum parts together go up to 0.5 mm, feels like too much.
Do you guys put a shim in this case? Or should I get an aluminum part with tighter tolerances?
I switched back to the stock hubs for now, it feels like it drives better.
PS. Is “slop” another / a better word to use than “clearance”?
