back rotor has developed play, when I apply the brakes, the rotor stops but the wheel (hub) can move back and forth considerably. I tried to tighten the screwing ring that holds the rotor onto the otherside ring with the kind of rivets, but it's not working. Do I need to tighten harder? HELP please, thanks a lot.

    Again in English please. Pics would also help as descriptions of 'the otherside ring with the kind of rivets' isn't the best!

    Centrelock rotors?

    pads moving in the caliper?

    where is the play?

    I had Formula K18's with Formula rotors that were fixed to XT hubs by means of a centrelock to 6 hole adaptor. The adaptor is fixed to the hub using a lockring that screws onto the hub. The lockring needs to be screwed down pretty tight (40 NM) using a cassette lockring tool, otherwise, yes, the wheel may develop some play even when the brakes are locked up.

    that's exactly what happened, I had it checked today and it needed a good 40 NM tightening, thanks to all of you guys for your replies!
