I just got a 2015 Longitude, noticed the previous owner has put Surly Monkey Nuts, even though it's geared. After removing the wheel and nuts, I found out that I cannot fully move the axle into the track end, as the rotor hits the caliper (Avid G2 160 mm rotor and BB7 caliper). Should I use some more washers to move the caliper up or would you have any other advice?
Update: I found that that is 20 mm adapter, wondering whether changing it will help or will it be too much of a difference (0 or 40 mm one)?
Update 2: after close inspection of the adapter and comparing with another bike I have with BB7s it turned out that the adapter here was mounted opposite way...
