BB7 Front spoke clearance.

I just got my BB7's installed and went through the fine-tune thing to get them to where I like them.

I noticed the front caliper comes within 2mm of the spokes. They aren't touching but they are VERY close. is this bad? is there anything I can do about it?

It's normal. I created the exact same thread(not sure if it was on BF or not) when I installed my bb7s. Mine are about 2mm away and never had a problem. Some of the people replying said they were within 1mm with no problems and it's normal.
