If the Rocky isn't going fine enough, it's usually because the hopper has hit the stop screw. A re-calibration involves "tweaking" the hopper/stop screw mechanism.

Yes OK, that's right. I thought I may have been missing something else.

How do I recalibrate the grinder? The non-genuine burrs were touching, but the grind wasn't fine enough. Now with the genuine burrs, I'm at a finer grind setting but there are quite a few clicks to go before they touch. There is no play in the motor. Is there anything else that affects the grind other than the hopper? What I do, is wind down the burrs until they touch, then back it off a bit to align the hopper and screw it down. Is that right?
Yep, a lot of us discovered this issue the hard way.
Once bitten, twice shy. Have only used original manufacturers' items since...

Amen to that, purchased a non genuine set of burrs for my Rocky to replace the originals after about 5 years of use, they lasted 6 months,replaced them with the real deal, they were still fine when I sold the machine years later.
I recently purchased a new set of burrs for my Rancilio Rocky from a reputable vendor. What I didn’t realise was that the vendor has two offerings for the Rocky burrs, ie. genuine and non-genuine. I happened to buy the non-genuine versions without knowing. When compared side by side, they appear to be identical in every way, apart from the missing Rancilio logo on the non-genuine ones. However, it soon becomes apparent that there is a performance difference. Using the correct and identical calibration method for the grinder, whereas I was grinding on a setting of 4-5, I’m now grinding on a setting of 1, with no option to go finer. I think if you’re grinding for plunger, pour over or drip, then these non genuine burrs are acceptable, but they are no good for espresso.
