Asked for a 185mm rotor to the replace the rear 160mm Juicy 5.
Father Christmas was obviously not concentrating and delivered a 180mm Ashima rotor instead.
Are the Ashimas any good, and will the 5mm make a difference? My wife laughed when I asked her this.

mate uses Ashima rotors reckons they're OK. I don't think the 5mm will make a massive difference.

You should pay more attention to your wife...

You could remove the spherical washers below the calliper and replace with thinner flat ones. Remove 2.5mm and you'll be sorted. Hopefully your mount will be straight enough for that to work.

You will have a 2.5mm lip on your pads. I ran a Shimano 180 disc on some Juicys for a while, got the right all is ok now!
