I still do not see the purpose of the extra flat and serrated washer. If the idea is to shim the front brake out over the headset bottom cup so that it can accessed with a wrench, I understand it less. Every brake I have ever had that needs centering can be centered by holding it cocked a bit to one side and then tightening the rear bolt. If the brake ever would require a wrench to hold it, the wrench could be applied with the wheel off from the bottom.

I vote that the extra serrated washer is a spare and the flat washer is an aberration.
