Hope Rotors

[olly1987]

Hi Guys,
I have a set of what i believe are the 04-07 Hope mono mini brakes but they didn't come with rotors. What was the standard size rotors they came with?. They're Going to be going on a Sanderson breath frame and On-One carbon forks on I.S mounts. I'd Like at least a 160mm rotor up front could i do that without an adapter?

Any help is appreciated

Regards, Olly

Re:

Have a look on the caliper it will have a number on it which if you look here

will tell you what size rotor they go with.

So basically you will have either no3 or no5 calipers which will give you 160f/140r or 160/160 or 180/160 depending on the numbers you have and which way around you mount them.

Re:

No worries if you find you end up with 180/140 (3/5) you can also get a is-is +20mm adaptor to take the rear to 160 which I think is a bit more balanced. Or if you are feeling a bit braver swap the calipers to give you 160/160.

Re:

Yea so both my calipers are no3...is that both 180mm?

Re:

That will give you 180 f/160r

Re:

I can live with that, and there won't be any need for adaptors?. Just bolt on and go?

Re:

Nope just bolt and go, just to warn you though depending on your set up you may need to put washers between the frame/fork and caliper to stop the pads from dragging but you won’t know until you get it all up and running.

Re:

Brilliant thanks. Yea I'm aware they may need shimming for an equal pad gap.

Thanks again!. Olly

Re:

Would later rotors be compatible or do they need to be for the 2004 designs?
