I'm building up a 2017 7.5 SC frameset and the front brake cover doesn't fit well.
It's a couple of mm taller than the top of the fork (pic #1). I can shove it in and get it to fit, but then the top of it is splayed out to the side (pic #2). I've looked through a couple hundred pics on the web of SC front that I can find and none look like this. Plus it takes a lot of effort to get it to pop in, and I'm worried it could crack at some point if left this way.
My thought was to just sand down the top part of the brake covers until they sit flush under the stem and call it a day . However, is something defective here (e.g. cover too tall, top of fork made too small) that I should address?
