160mm Hope Disk Rotor For Hope Spline Bracket

Hi, I'm sorry I can't help you out with a rotor as I run 160's myself. There was a selection of different sized 5 bolt rotors on ebay a couple of weeks ago. Not much use to you now though I'm afraid. I was wondering though do you have the tool for removing the lock ring? I have 1 rear hub hope xc with this splined spider set up but no tool and I want to build it into a new rim. Cheers

I think any 5 bolt rotor will fit, as long as you have the spider to attach to.
As for the lockring, if you don't have the fancy peg spanner, try a strap wrench. You can get them from the pound shop in the tools section and because they're rubber they don't do any damage.

The way the strap wrench works is you wrap the rubber around whatever it is you want to tighten/loosen then tuck the rubber into the handle. As you turn the handle, the rubber tightens on itself grabbing whatever's inside.
In this case, your ring.
The only tricky bit is the lock ring is narrow and the strap is about 1 or 2 cm wide, so you'll have to line it up right, but I found it fairly efficient.
