niche front rotors Q?

[Don R]

Today I checked the caliper clearance to the Niche rotors, the caliper brackets clear fine. When I removed the caliper section and held the pads in place the rotor buttons hit the pad material near the center. I removed a pad and ground the friction material maybe 1/32" and held the pad by hand in all 4 places. It cleared fine so I made the other 3 pads match. I re-assembled and all is well.
I'll find a product that niche makes and offer to trade my fix information for that. Maybe a new rear rotor. L0L!

My issue was different than the EBC rotor issue. The OD of the Niche rotor buttons were clicking on the pad material on the inside of both rotors. I clearanced the pad material about 1/32" and the problem is solved. Niche originally sent a snarky email when I asked about it. Then I told them how I feel about their engineering and they then E mailed again and asked for photos of the differences between original and their product and what it would take to correct the problem so they can pass that on to the folks that manufacture them.
I offered to do that if they send me a free rear rotor. I said I will test their rear to see if it also has the same clearance problem and provide photos of how to correct it all.
Another difference is the open cut-away area between the button arms will pass between the bottom 1/4" to 3/8" of the friction material. Since newer bikes run those wavy rotors I assume that isn't a deal breaker.
