I have a '21 Rail 5 that came with 203mm rotors with like a 20mm adapter on the Gold 35 shocks.

I installed a '23 Zeb Ultimate which has a native 200mm post mount. Finding spacers/adapters for a 200->203mm was very difficult on the internet.

I ended up going to the hardware store with calipers to find a 1.5mm thick M6 washer. I used a 25mm M6 socket head bolt with 1 washer as the spacer and 2 washers under the bolt head to get the bolt length correct for my oem Tektro brakes. That left 12mm of thread to go into the post mount. The RockShox manual says 9-13mm of thread insertion.

Just thought I'd post in case it might help someone else. I know it's 3 years old news but damn if there isn't much to be found on the internet for this.
