Can't speak for Codes but Hope floatings don't fit all brakes, and some they fit but only just- my Oro K24s frinstance fit by a hair but lose any sort of adjustability.

TBH the floating rotors are a bit of hype IMO, I regret falling for it, they're not especially light and I never saw any performance advantage.

Performance advantage? It's a bit of metal, marketers have got a lot to answer for. As for fitting other calipers I have found that mono 6 rotors didn't fit my mono 4 calipers. I ended up grinding about .5mm off the rotor outer to get it to fit. I found that very strange and would probably never have noticed but it was ISO mount and there was no adjustment available save ovalising the holes, which I didn't fancy.

I've used floating rotors with avid 3's if that helps?? (and shimano LX and magura louises) without any issues, though the 3's were a bit of a pita to setup right.

Personally I bought them as I like the colours - does that make me a bad person?!

Hope rotors have three brake track widths:

Mono Mini/X2/M4 are 13mm.
Mono/Moto M6 are 17mm.
Moto/Tech V2 are 20mm.

They're all roughly the same thickness at 1.85mm, apart from the completely-incompatible-with-anything-else vented V2 rotor, which is about 3mm.

The M6 rotor is the closest match to the Avid pad width.
