Hello,
This weekend I swapped my Avid one piece disc rotors on my Rock Lobster to the Shimano Ice Tech disc rotors hoping it would improve braking performance (road BB7 calipers), and because the Shimano rotors are two piece, the section where the two pieces of the rotors connect, it hits the caliper. Is it just a matter of getting a new adapter to stretch the caliper away from the frame/fork? I am using 160mm rotors and the adapters for the brakes say it is for 160mm. Should I buy the 180mm adapters to create more space? Hopefully my explanation is clear enough for someone to help.
Thanks in advance.
