The way the drive side cover installs is you take off the cassette and put the cover over, it sits at the base of the freehub body and the cassette goes back on over. I assume this helps hold the disc securely, but basically rams the biggest cog up against the cover. It's not going to be a big issue for Ironman Western Australia though and definitely liking the benefit of having a disc wheel with power at a fraction of the price. Russ Cheers Rich,

Or you may be able to shave a fraction of a mm or more off the disc cover next to the gear with a file or sandpaper!
