Picked up my new Tricross Sport today and opted to build it myself as the LBS were pretty busy and I wasn't waiting until next week. Anyhoo, I'm pretty handy with a spanner, allan wrench etc so got to work, even though there was no self-build manual and info on the net was a bit scarce. Bike is now built but I was left with 4 rubber inserts which seem to go in the brake/gear lever. 2 are for the left, 2 for the right and they are marked 4 degrees and 8 degrees. What are these for and do you need them? I'm never fully satisfied without a self build unless some parts are left over ;-)
