but it could be a MX900 issue

skyway/koolstop fins either side of the brake bridge  :daumenhoch:
you should just be able to see them in the pics





even then you have to have the wheel quite a way forward and the brake blocks all the way down

SteveG:
MX1000's arms are a bit short on a Ripper frame unless the wheel is well forward in the dropout. The self centering bit is a bit taller or gets quite close to the dropouts (can't remember now) so makes the problem a bit worse. The original spacers were the half round ones but they had special shaped holes in them

I swapped my self centering spindle for an earlier one and spaced the caliper so it just clears the frame. Allow for a bit of brake flex though.

you could always use penny washers from the local hardware store  :daumenhoch:
