Hey folks
Thought I’d do a simple Hope disc swap on my 99 Kona Chute today. The frame has IS disc tabs and the Judy XLC also has IS mounts.
I had a set of Hope Mono Mini brakes spares with both calipers marked as 3. This should have given me a front disc size of 185mm and rear as 165mm according to the table I found through a search on here.
They’re fitted to a set of Hope XC hubs.
I managed to find the correct spec discs (185/165mm) through my LBS
All was going well until I fitted the wheels The front disc scrapes against the caliper where as the rear disc seems to be around 5 to 10mm too small. I realised I need to space out the rear caliper too around 5mm as it won’t bolt flush to the frame.
Question - has anyone done this swap here? Does anyone have a suggestion for the rear?
The front should be an easy fix just chucking on a 180mm disc but the rear is confusing me.
