I got anxious about getting my bike back up and running so instead of fabricating the torque arms at this time, I bought one from Grin. I also have one of those generic arms with the hose clamps. Not a surprise that generic one has some play, but I notice last night that even though the Grin arm goes on pretty snugly, it too has some play (hole to axle fit). My question is, has anybody used shims to eliminate play in the torque are due to the arm to axle fit?
My thought is to buy a cheap set of feeler gauges and find the right size that can fit tightly between the axle and inner flat portion of the torque arm hole as a shim. I think between the two arms, I can avoid disaster, but I'd like to get the one as tight as possible to avoid even minor damage to the dropouts, since I plan to up my regen levels.
