Disc Brake Spacer (with my Shimano brakes tested)

thingiverse

I tried printing the Disc Brake Pad Spacer by Aiber, but it wouldn't cooperate, so I took out my caliper and measured my original Shimano disc brake spacer. It was a bit different - not in thickness or distance to the grabbing pincer at the top - and I added a little print helper pad at the tiny top. ## Double-checking for accuracy This pad spacer is **not** meant for use during bicycle rides. Its purpose is to keep brake pads apart when the disc is unmounted. Use it if you transport your bike in the trunk, or if you're fixing flat tires etc. So this is a replacement for the similar little brake pad spacers that everyone should get from an honest bike shop at the time of purchasing a bike or a disc brake set. Those things tend to go missing, however.
