Inspired Fourplay Rear Axle Installation

How much is it actually rubbing by? Does the wheel not move at all or is there just a lot of friction from it? If it is the second one then you could just spin the wheel for a while and let the disc sort of eat away at the caliper. Might weaken it but it may be better then grinding down bolts a lot which could snap and leave you in a tricky position. Or carefully grind or file down the edge of the disc so it doesn't rub. Best of luck anyway.

I think the bolt will hold better than it looks.

The wheel is spinning very bad, i dont think i can do that.

I found a shop in switzerland, they have a 173mm hope rotor in stock:

Can i use this? Its 52 Euro without shipping :/

Another alternative is, i get myself a shimano IS to IS adaptor for a 203mm rotor and than install a normal 200mm rotor.

Can you get a 200mm rotor? I thought they were all 203 as standard? Would you not have the same problem but with a bigger rotor? 

One idea though is that you could get a bigger rotor and get a bespoke IS to IS adapter made up if you know someone who can do that sort of stuff. Might be easier than milling you current rotor down.

Holy shit. See those bolts you want to not snap when you're landing a gap. :unsure:

The plain (non threaded) part of the bolt hasn't changed thickness, it's the same as the minor thread diameter of the standard bolt (Y)
