Picked up a brand new set of Het Jet 90 disc wheels and the spline for the front disc has a double-wide tooth on it. Is there a special shimano rotor for this? I'm trying to install RT-MT800's. Rear hub just has a normal spline pattern and installed fine.

Thanks.

Scott

Sounds like a defective hub.

Front and rear spline patterns should be identical. Can you post a picture?

I have this front wheel and literally put on the brake rotor last night. There is no double wide tooth. Call HED, it sounds like a mistake.

Yup, that sure looks like a defect. Give HED a call.

Wow. surprising that it made it through the production QC, or the installation.
