    Make for a very tight fit. I’m presuming its not normal for the a soul to only have 1 – 1.5mm clearance between the rotor and frame (183mm hope m4). Looks to me like the dtswiss centre lock adaptor is slightly on the thick side pushing the rotor too far. Very annoying as it means the rotor rivets (floating rotor) rub on the brake mount adaptor. No riding for me this weekend then.

    Any suggestions to fixes would be appreciated.

    Floating rotor rivets do that, if the rotor itself got clearance to the frame its fine, as sugested you might have to get creative with a file to get the noggins to clear the mount adaptor… (file the adaptor not the noggins)

    My suggestion would be to use a smaller (160mm) rotor which usually improves clearance – I’m 16 stone and don’t find that I really need a 180 at the back.

    Yeah had considered both modifying the mount adaptor and using a smaller rotor. Need to go and size things up at the LBS on Saturday and work it out.

    Shimano adaptor might make for a better fit? SMRTAD10

    I had the same problem on my dialled Prince Albert. I just swapped down to a 160 disc and everything was fine.

    Damn, wish I’d seen that adaptor before, so so much cheaper than the dtswiss one!!!

    Just file the adaptor. I had to take the edge of mine to avoid a fouling issue with a hope floating rotor.
