And, just like your other red herrings, it is likely not an issue. I’ve adjusted hundreds of these kinds of brakes and have never had trouble adjusting the fixed pad adjuster. I didn’t even know they were a thing on some brakes until this thread. Just like the spherical washers, it’s mostly a nonissue and certainly not something that helps to address the problem.
