The shim is there. The washer is vertically inserted into the groove, alongside the lump on the clamp designed to stop rotation. The key in your quote is 'more than a few degrees'. Those 'few degrees' are annoying.

Thanks guys !!

So basically the correct torque is FT, fekking tight ?

My boom has the plastic shim thing but there is 'slop' in the alignment groove and only a couple of degrees of rotation is enough to de-rail the chain...... I know I am right side dominated so that's the leg I clip in for setting off so that's why my boom had a slight rotation to the right......

With carbon forks, is there any risk of over tightening the front brake caliper and damaging the carbon fork ? Or is there a long metal insert in the carbon fork where the brake caliper mounting bolt goes through the fork ? When I put it back together I will use some blue loctite as well as a new Nyloc nut.

All good fun !!
