Hey G,
I have switched from an 8" rotor to a 6" rotor and still running into a snag. Even with a 6" rotor on, the two bolts holding the caliper onto the brake adapter are not event tight yet that I have no clearance left between the caliper and the top of the rotor.
I have just posted some new pics on http://www.mountaincycle.com/community/
since this "Get Satisfaction" crappy website won't let me post any pic of any kind or any size for some reason. "Satisfaction" my *ss !! Pfff..!

San Andreas rear disc mount adapter problemHi guys,
Here's my dilemma. I've purchased a San Andreas frame from a friend of mine and he gave me a rear disc brake adapter with the frame. I recently installed it on the frame but to my great disappointment, I can't fit a set of Hayes HFX-9 with an 8" rotor on it. I've tried to use a Hayes caliper adapter (74-23) on it but I can only use the bottom bolt to hold it onto the brake adapter. (see the pic)
I would have to grind down the top of the Hayes adapter to bolt on the second bolt but if I do so, the caliper will rest on top of the rotor and the wheel won't spin freely. I'd love to get this bike going ASAP since a friend of mine fell in love with it and wants to buy it. Any idea or suggestion would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks
Jean
