Howdy, just received my CRT.5 today, and upon installing the mount I ran into a few problems.

1) The hole where the brake cam inserts was too small on the mount (by some incredibly small fraction of a mm) - no biggie, hit it with a 3mm drill bit and its a perfect fit now.

2) in the stock mount, there are little cut outs in the mount for the bearing flanges on the brake cams, the RCM mount seems to be missing these, and the cam bearing doesnt fit in place without them. Before I take a file to my newly aquired piece of shiny goodness with a file, just wanted to check that this was infact an oversight in the manufacture of the RCM mount and not me being stupid and doing it wrong...

Now, is it just my mount is a one off that's like this? Or does everyone have to mod their RCM mounts to fit properly?

Cheers

Sam
