Yeah, okay, you have a point there. However........if the disc carrier is correctly protected (anodised/painted etc), then that should prevent dissimilar metal contact and the carrier won't corrode.

I dunno, bikes are a bit wierd...in my day job, I would have a head fit if anybody even suggested putting stainless bolts into aluminium structure! Likewise, if anybody suggested putting carbon anywhere near ally I would also do my nut!!
Never mind...just keep chanting the mantra!!
