Does this look correct to you?

The disk is only just missing the fork stantion by 1mm, if that?

Calliper looks stupidly close to spokes as well. when you release the QR, do the fork legs go out? (as in, are they being bent in..)

Mines always been close but never been a problem; could be with floating rotors?

realman, if I release the qr, the fork opens up by 1mm if that.

Yea the caliper has maybe 2-3mm of clearance from the spokes too.

Might not be a problem, depends on the wheel and rotor flex. Unless you think you might've done something stupid which isn't obvious to us, give it a ride and see what happens.

My On One carbon forks have reasonable clearance, my Maxle Reba 29ers have enough clearance to get a single sheet of paper in and that's it!

I put it down to different manufacturers hubs, maybe your planet x are just a tiny bit wider than others so your clearance is reduced? I have friends running the same Reba as me who have plenty of space.

The rotor bolts only just miss the fork leg on my on one though.

Looking at the disc side dropout, is there a flat section on it to clear the disc, cant tell properly from the pic.

running the same hubs with hope brakes, and i am sure that I have similar clearance to the fork leg. Try not to bend the disk too much! RS revs btw

Mine (running lx hub) also has the clearance of a gnats knacker and has been no trouble.

Mine are the same, never flexed enough to cause a rub.

There were lots of posts about clearance when the forks were first released. Never been a problem, that I know of.
