Hello Community,
I am not able to source/locate a disc brake rotor for Shimano Steps in 203mm, i.e. the back wheel version with Magnet. They seem to be sold out, at least in the US.
Any ideas for workarounds - buy the front wheel version and put/glue a magnet on there? Are there any Non OEM alternatives?

Any help appreciated,
regards,

Are you six bolt or centerlock? I am currently looking for RT-EM900/910 203mm centerlock as well. I will probably get a centerlock conversion to 6bolt and add the magnet. I found one in England but destroyed it last week in the skinny rocks. I found one in spain at Rumble Bikes DISCO 203MM C.LOCK STEPS ICE-TECH FREEZA but they dont ship to the US. Treefort bikes shows them online with no backorder date. Trying to go through bike shops is a joke as well as they are not up to speed on this new technology.
 
I was looking for exactly these rotors, i.e. the centerlock version. I bought Shimano Saint RT99 Ice Tech Rotors (centerlock) in 203mm, ND magnets and JD Weld Epoxy. I took out the old rotor, removed the magnet and placed both rotors above each other so that I could mark exactly where the magnet needs to be on the new rotor... I put a magnet on the front and backside of the rotor and used Epoxy. It works perfectly fine.
