Some forks?

I needed to file a fraction of a mm off of my Marzochi forks as where the spider attached to the disc there was a rub.

Had issues with some brakes, shimano in particular but not frames.

On Fox 36 forks for sure....the floating rivets can move just enough to clip the mounting hardware.....easily sorted with a thumbs pressure to get it to shuffle out the way... Not heard of any frame issues.

Hope Floaters, Chris King Hubs, Fox floats. Rub-tastic.

Shimano Floaters fine.

I wouldn't be at all surprised to hear some other combos have issues. But it would also depend on the hubs too, I'd have thought.

Mate had to swap his floating rotor for a standard one on the back of his yeti sb66.

Superstar floating rotors were so tight on my Cube AMS that the moment a spec of dust got inbetween they started rubbing.
