Struggling here.

The Whyte was fitted with a 150mm disc as standard and Hope 4 pots. However, I bought the +20mm kit and have had to fit a 170mm disc from Shimano. But, after no time at all, the disc shows sign of rust and is screaming like a teenager on alcopops. :?

So, I'm looking for suggestions...

1) Any ideas how I get my forks to accept the more common 180mm disc size ?
2) If not, any ideas who sells funky / wavy 170mm discs ?

I've tried the interweb, but to no avail...

Thanks

    A2Z do adaptors that do a plus 20-25 mm ectension. the caliper mount is a slot to allow adjustment. and will let you use a 180mm disc.
