    On the old Hope Mini brakes, how do you tell which caliper fits which rotor?
    Looking to use one with a 140mm or 160mm rotor. Which caliper should I be looking for?

    I think this is the guide to caliper sizes
    1 – Hopes own standard, designed for the original line of Hope brake adaptors
    2 – Rear calliper for frames without disc mounts. Used to use a shortened axle
    3 – International Standard, 51mm spacing. Front 185mm rotor, rear 165mm
    4 – Might of been 48mm Marzocchi Standard
    5 – International Standard, 51mm spacing. Front 165mm rotor, rear 145mm
    6 – Boxxer Mount 205mm Rotor
    8 – International Standard, 51mm spacing. 205mm rotor front
    9 – Manitou/Post Mount. Early models were 71mm I think, then Manitou changed it around 2000 to the current 74mm standard.

    Just nipped out to check on my bike, and been beaten to it. I can, however, recommend running Hope C2 rotors (non Wavey) on them as they hardly ever squeal like the waveys were reknown for.
