Anything around cheaper than Hope? It's just for the rear end of a hack bike. Anybody got a 185mm rotor that's surplus to requirements?

I've said before on here that I've used the cheapest unbranded rotors from ebay and I've had no issues. I was running 4 of them at one point across 2 bikes.

Just pick plain steel ones that don't look ridiculous and you'll find something brand new for less than a tenner.

EDIT: just had a look and 185mm is hard to find for some reason. As above, switch to 180!

Might have a random 185 Avid in the garage.

Hence the post. Playing around with caliper mounts is an option, complicated by not wanting to ditch the Avid washers which make setting up these old BB7s so easy. Sending you a pm, teethgrinder.

I assume there’s a reason for needing/wanting to use 185?

I might have some or possibly 183 seems to ring a bell, I'll have a look tomorrow.
