OK, I know those adapter plates were only $3, but they cause at least $50 of grief each.
First the plate hits the motor so you need to shave it, then the two holes that mount the encoder itself are just a bit off, so you end up using a LARGE amount of force to mount a fragile optical encoder circuit. Basically none of the critical dimensions are up to par.
JMHO
Based on my FTC experiences, the wires for the encoder (on the cable) are also extremely fragile. So mount and protect them well.
