The tapered wedge effectively raises the spindle as a by product of reducing the kick up.
You'll probably find that you will need different thicknesses of washers if you start to play with the option caster blocks also.

I never noticed any reference to the flat kick shim in the manual, mine was built with 20 degree and tapered spacer, then I swapped to the 25 degree, still with tapered shim. Is this wrong? I have 2mm spacer on the hub and no bump steer.
