Yeah, makes sence that way too.
- Then the 'spokes' or whatever there called are in tention, rather than compression, which could bend them.

I really don't think you're going to put enough torsion on a rotor spoke to bend it unless it's from the side.

Am I the only person who actually went to the Grimeca website and checked the manual? His setup is fine.

Dead on; it's exactly how Grimeca says to mount 'em. Makes sense too. I always thought every other brand's rotor mounting (including my BB7s) was backward.

Thanks. It rides very nicely, almost like new. But I think it would be a scary ride off road.
