Hi All,

I've just tried fitting at a Hope E4 with an old Hope 203 mount. But the caliper is slightly catching on the mount, and yes it's the right way round.

I've found if I put a washer on each bolt it fits fine.

Are the new mounts from hope a different shape?

I think the mount may not be a hope mount! That's probably my problem... bugger.

Could be. With the E4 calipers for a 180 front I had to get the proper hope adaptor as both the Avid and Shimano ones I had fouled the body to varying degrees

Same as above, tried mounts I had but didn't work so had to get hope ones.

Yes hope mounts are shaped to fit the caliper

I wouldn't go that far. I did run mine with an XTR adaptor that was close to fitting so I'd just filed out a mm or two to make it fit whilst I waited for the hope adaptor to arrive. Paranoia wouldn't let me leave it like that
