Something like this might allow you to do away with the spacer since it is a bit thicker than the existing cable stop and it might give a bit more spacing flexibility when adding the decaleur.



Also the steel will flex less than the current, pressed metal Dia Compe, stop when using the front brake. I have found they give a bit more of a "positive" feel when using the brake.
