Anyone else having trouble fitting brakes to 29+ front ends? I am fitting (said with conviction) XT brakes to my Krampus, but even with a 203mm rotor, the spokes only clear by a credit card's thickness...
Options are machining a new caliper adaptor (not enough material in the current one to just face it off) and spacing the rotor out, or cross-lacing the wheels (i.e. right flange goes to left spoke hole). Has anyone else overcome this?
