    this is weird

    centrelock rotor on right way,
    wheel solid in dropouts/straight
    when wheel turns the rivets that hold the disc rotor to the plastic centre lock part touch the metal bottom bits of the fork which the carbon struts sit in. I bought new disc adaptors thinking it was that but it definitely isn’t.

    Might file down but not sure about it. anyone help?

    Some fork/rotor/adapter combo’s just don’t gel 🙁

    I couldn’t run a hope 183mm floating rotor on my fox post mount fork due to fouling 🙁

    Had to fit a standard rotor..

    Sorry this may not help you …

    I’m more worried that your rotors seem to be held on by a bit of plastic.

    Having similar problems running Shimano center lock rotors on Formula RX brakes. Rivets foul on the caliper body. Have filed rivets down a bit – seems to have worked.

    -hmm might not be plastic. the rotor is fouling the fork body, near the dropout.

    thanks for the ‘your not the only one’ type comments

    Have you rebuilt the hub recently? I had this with a cup and cone hub when I got the cones the wrong way round and they began to foul on the dropouts

    I seem to remember the tolerances being rather tight on those forks when they came out. Think there were a few threads at the time.
