How thick is this shim/washer? How critical is it to have it there?

Default Front steering hub WOS - eccentrics
Hi,

Looking at the setup diagram for the WOS front hubs, it shows the eccentric nipple facing down.

i remember coming across a post where someone commented that they got more steering with the nipple facing up... but not sure if it was coupled together with the WOS front hubs.

hoping to hear what u guys have to say about this... if i'm looking for more steering, and using the WOS front hubs... should i have the nipple facing up or down?

i know the only way to find out is to experiment... but i dont have the time... working saturday and have a race on sunday.

thanks in advance

sam
