I got a 180mm talas with the intention of running it at 170mm to match some frame a-c specs with the wrong size wheels and the right size fork. I didn't realize the 180mm version came with 200mm specific rotor brake mounts. Pedaling around with a 200mm rotor sucks. Brakes work and listening to that 'sha-shing, sha-shing' on climbs sucks.
It looks like there's enough thread purchase left over if I were to cut down the mounts so I could get a 180mm rotor on there. What would be the best way to do this? Having something centered in the bolt hole would be pretty necessary I'd think.
And yeah the lowers from a 160mm version are shorter and hence, would be a bad time.
