I checked the caliper on my wheel. I believe it is installed per the
manual, which puts it at the lowest part when the gear is retracted,
therefore it is clear of the tunnel. However, even if it were in a
different position, there seems to be sufficient clearance (about 1/2 inch)
for it to clear the tunnel.
