There is a workaround though: DISC|REINFORCING RING

Thanks for that. I didn't know that existed.

Both the hubs and rotors I will use are products we sell so I am kind of locked into those. Based on our designs I don't think this should be an issue but I will certainly verify this before throwing a leg over the bike.
