Hi. Does anyone know if there should be a gap between the swingarm and spacer in the rear wheel? I noticed last night that there's about 5mm which seems a bit wrong to me. This disappears when the wheel nut is torqued up, but I think that could damage the swingarm.

Has anyone else noticed a gap?

To add, I've got forged wheels ona Gen 3 bike with Spider Captive spacers, which appear to be correct in size.

Had this problem when I change wheels (cast and forged) between tyres. Spacers are different but cant remember which way round
 
Hey Bananaman, did you just torque the nut up and forget about it?
