Front wheel/disk alignment
Having serviced the new 954 callipers, I went to reassemble the front end, but found that the right-hand disk was way off centre in the calliper (towards the outside, with barely any clearance), as well as quite close to the fork leg. I refitted the original calliper, but that was the same. I made sure I had the spacers the right side (long on right, short on left), so can't work out what the issue is. As far as I can tell, the axle bolt pulls everything up tight against the right-hand fork leg, so the only slight variable should be the position of the left fork leg. What am I missing? is it possible the spacer is the wrong size? It measures 22mm wide.

Just to be clear (because some people look at things from a different perspective...)
"Left" is the left as you are sitting on the bike, the same side that you insert the axle from. The manual definitely shows the short spacer on this side, the long spacer is on the side where the axle nut goes.
