LOL! Just done it with marmite and jam. Jam wins whichever order you do it!
Older and more confused than I could ever imagine possible.

The wheel rubbing issue is mentioned in the instructions supplied with the OB KIT. They do mention use of a spacer and there is no reference to grinding. I had exactly the same problem and a 2mm spacer solved the issue. It would have been nicer if the spacers were part of the kit though.

Sounds like the OB kit is 'not fit for purpose'!
