axle play

how much in/out axle play should there be on stock c-clip axles? i just changed over from drums to Baer clam 12" discs and it seems like there is alot of play in the axles causing rotor to caliper contact.

Re: axle play

Should be around 1/8".

If it's more than about 3/16", get new C-clips.
