He means the holes in the mounts are something like 53mm spacing instead of the 51mm of IS that appeared after they were produced.Seem to remember there being a Formula brake made to fit them at that time, but may be wrong.

those puppies at the top were mine, I stupidly put them on a idrive which had deore disk brakes on. Cannot remember any issues apart from lookin like something from OCC.

I also have a set of Monster Ts of the same vintage and they are fine too
