The stupid questions thread.

you removed the orange sticker from the rotor?!

No I didn't remove anything from it.

Rotor is on backwards....

Looks contaminated also.

That arrow is meant to point at the Maxxis logo.

Looks like someone stole your valve?

Now how are you gonna stop when your ripping a sick fakie?

The M and the W are a little off.

I wish there was a brand of tyres called Mike. They'd go brilliantly with the Hunt wheels I'm saving for..

That's the adapter for the 4 pot brakes not the 2 pot brakes

What are those little two holed thin pieces of metal that go between the rotor and rotor bolt for (set of 3 for a rotor). I use them on some bikes and others they don't come with it so I don't. I assume some kind of anti-rotation loosening device?

Exactly - Meant to stop the bolts coming loose - Opinions vary between essential to have and weigh too much

Mount so the arrow marked "UP" is pointing up.....

Easy...you saw his rotor didn't you?

 

[pink poodle]

This one -

@HamboCairns dude! You got the wrong the adaptor. That one isn't compatible between a Shimano brake and a sram fork. The spacing is all wrong.

What the actual fuck are you talking about?

What the actual fuck are you talking about?

So the spacing on SRAM owned forks is specific to SRAM owned brakes, one of those bullshit proprietary things like trek and specialized love doing. It is really shit! You just need the right adapted to get around it. Yours is the one that goes with all the other forks (fox, manitou, Marzocchi, xfusion, and so on). The physical difference is small, but you won't get maximum brake pad to rotor contact with that adaptor.
