fitted the new (to me) rear wheel t'other day and its the first time I've had the rear wheel out.. was wondering what the 'tang' (for want of a better word) on the bottom of the caliper mount does .. it looks like it should locate somewhere on the swingarm but cant see where? :icon_scratch
if im right in rememberin, it just stops the mount from spinnin when you use the brake ;) sorta locks against the swingarm

like rybes said it is just a stop and if you want to rotate the eccentric adjusters 180 degrees to lower it you need to remove that 'tang'
It's handy for stopping the brake caliper spinning all the way round (and ruining your brake cable), as I found out when the bolt vibrated loose from the torsion arm.
Very weird sensation. I came to a stop on a slight hill, using the back brake for the slow speed stop. Once stopped, I then rolled backwards a short way whilst my foot was still on the brake.
