Hi all,

I've got Avid BB7 SL road calipers on my road bike. I tried to fit Shimano CL rotors (RT 76, 81) however the spider is hitting a small tab on the brake pads.

I can grind off the tab. However, will i face the same issue with all Shimano rotors?

Also, for those with BB7 calipers, which rotors are you using?

I snip the little tab off if I'm using the BB7s with my XTR rotors.

I've accidentally snapped loads of those tabs off.
