Am idly contemplating some Superstar/Hope/Clarks etc floating rotors but I understand the carrier can sometimes foul on the caliper/pads

Just wondered if anyone had used Elixirs with floating rotors?

I've also got SS Floating rotors,

180/160 and using their adaptors. I actually get no fouling with my CR's that i've just put on. My Tektros did though big time!

OK thanks fellas. I must admit the Elixir calipers look fairly minimal and it's hard to imagine how a floating rotor could mess them up but you never know eh?

I'm still haunted by J3s & RT76s

Hope V2 floating rotors don't foul the caliper as they have a deeper braking surface than standard floating rotors, but they only come in 180-203...

Aren't Hope V2s thicker than other rotors, so aren't compatible with other calipers.

Those are vented, you can get non vented V2 floating rotors as well, I've got some on some oro bianco's and they work a treat
I tried standard mono mini floating rotors and the rivits fouled the calipers on my oro's

Isn't it more down to the hub/fork combo? Running Elixirs and Hope floaters on both bikes with no probs.

Ahhhh I thought V2s were all vented (hence the 'V' bit...)

My wife is running juicy 5 with hope 183/160 sawtooth hope rotors. I just cut the tang off the pads. No more catching.

I had the Saw Tooth Hope Pro ones on Elixirs, they were fine.
