No. I got new tires installed and saw this gap while I was cleaning the bike. Funny. I don't remember it. I was wondering if it had a washer in between before or not.

no washer goes there. Have you checked to make sure the nuts are tight? Just a thought. Maybe axle isnt seated in there right.

Much like the triple trees holdin your forks in place. The gap is there to give a pinching affect on your axle. No worries if all is tight.
