Oh, darn...

Hey, I knew there was a reason why I kept those old concave washers from my worn out linear pull brake pads!

Now I just need to superglue some weights on the opposite side of the rim to counterbalance the extra weight from those washers. I wonder if Wahoo makes a doodad and app to precisely calculate the weight needed three times before the doodad breaks and I switch to a Garmin rim counterbalance weight doodad.
