I’m trying to put a new Campy Ekar set on a 2024 (?) Trek Crockett with HED Emporia GA Pro Wheels (N3w hubs).
Setting up the rear disc brake calipers, it just seems like a total mismatch. With the caliper flat-mounted, the rotor is no where near the brakes. And as you can see in the pic, with the wheel inserted the caliper is no where near the mounts, with spoke rubbing to boot. I’ve measured to confirm that I have 140mm rotors.
I didn’t have this issue on the front caliper (which uses the Campy Ekar adapter). There’s a little rubbing that I think I can adjust away, but this rear caliper seems like a more fundamental alignment/sizing issue.
Is there a shim kit or something that can be done to adjust? Or am I missing something more fundamental in the interface between wheel, frame, and brakeset?
Thanks!

You’re rotor is mounted backwards. Flip it and it’ll resolve the problem.
