Play in Mavic Centerlock 6-bolt adapter

Never seen it in any 6 bolt adapter I've used.

I'd be careful if there is any play at all in an adapter. I had a rotor flex to the point it jumped the pins and rotated. The lockring was still tight, but it jumped the pegs anyways. That was using an Alligator adapter.

If you can spare the coin, I'd get the DT-Swiss adapters. The posts are longer (but cut partially away so the lockring will still fit) so the rotor won't jump the pegs. If you have a 15mm front hub, they have a second model for those.

Thanks - I didn't think it was normal. I have another rotor to try first (quick and easy anyway) - if that don't do it will check out the DT-Swiss adapter.

To be clear, the movement is "rotational" as in the tire can rotate a little on the axle. It's not lateral back and forth wobble.

Could still be a tightness issue. Is there a washer that did not get installed?

All fixed - it was a tightness issue, and a stupid mistake on my part.
I reread the instructions - that adaptor is supposed to be torqued to 40 nm. I must have been looking at the wrong thing first time around as I thought it was lower. Guess it's time for new glasses!

Mavic 6 bolt adapter issue

Had the same problem with my mavic crossrides, eventually the play would cause the rotors to come loose, after experimenting with different torque settings and lock-tight I gave up and bought splined rotors, sorted!!
