This is a quick video on 6 bolt disc brake rotor/hub, wheel sets not clearing the forks and rubbing on my 2021 trek domane. I’m rather disappointed in the lack of clearance; I feel it’s a design flaw and forces the consumer to go in a one direction. Well I’m not drinking the Kool-Aid, I like the style and feel of the bike, it really moves but it’s an SL5 it’s meant to be hot-rodded… and I’m not about to spend 2k on a set of triple x wheels. So here we have it dealing with the fudge.

Anyways the solution is to find a low profile head at 1.5mm thick m5 x 10mm screw or file down your existing button heads. I filed mine down to about 1.75mm thickness. Not an issue - filing doesn’t cause heat damage, and there isn’t much sheer tension on the head. It’s about the same thickness as a low profile head.
Hope this helps you out.
