***IMPORTANT PLEASE READ (but don't panic)***

Hi Tony, thanks for the heads up. I haven't fitted the rear yet (it's still in London) , but from the photos I was sent it looks flush.

@Stephen_Spencer look away....

Ok , I think we have learned a great deal here .
1. The very early 2015 cast front hub may have the disc rotor holes too close together (less than a 80mm circle) .
2. Sometime in 2015 , certainly by 2016 this was rectified . ?
3. Sometime between 2015 and 2018 the rear cast hub had the r/h bearing moved inward and recessed ~ 15mm . This then required the longer axle spacer between sprocket carrier and r/h drive side of rear hub.
4. This newer late style rear hub has a corresspondinly shorter inner hub bearing spacer .
5. If your old rear wheel hub matches your new rear wheel hub , ( flush drive side bearing vs recessed drive side bearing ) you are good with the parts you have.

Folks, one of the Facebook 961 owners spotted this whilst cleaning the front wheel on his 2010 bike...

He mentioned the bike has not been wheelied, curbed or in an accident, so I took a look at my 2011, and the first spoke socket I looked at has what looks like a hairline crack in the same position. I need to get the wheel out, remove the discs and look closer at all of them. This obviously is a potentially lethal fault. Please check yours.

Early Triumphs had these issues as well..
 
I can’t believe what I am seeing here!

Straight spoke hubs are supposed to be designed so that the “straight” spokes line up with the mating holes in the rim. The design strength of the lugs assumes that the above sentence is true and there is negligible side load. Some misalignment can be allowed for by having sufficient clearance between the spoke and the hole in the lug so that the only contact remains at the (self aligning) nipple.
