Flat mount is ALMOST right, which is what bothers me the most about it. Why didn't the industry just go straight to radial mounting? Hope did it with the HB.160! And everyone got all grumpy so they did away with it. Adding a flat plate or tube spacer to change rotor sizes is apparently too simple, and we need to have 17deg adapter plates or whatever for what could have been a perfectly fine standard for bikes.
