At what point does the 6-bolt rotor mounting standard change? A massive 220mm rotor bolted to the hub with 6 too-closely-spaced bolts doesn't seem to make a lot of sense. Moving the mounting bolts closer to the braking surface seems to make armchair-engineering sense. Should be stiffer. Should reduce rotor warpage. Might mean simpler, less expensive rotors?
