Seems that shops will happily sell 180mm Hope rotors but no-one seems to sell Hope's model 'L' adaptor:
I realise I can get other makes of adaptor to run 180mm rotors, but prefer to have Hope brakes, adaptors and discs - as it just always works without any faff
Anyone come across an 'L' anywhere ?
I use a 'H' adapter for that - works fine.
snaps - to confirm, you're using an 'H' with a 180mm rotor and the brake pads aren't overlapping the outer edge of the rotor ?
Hi
Am running a k adaptor which I got from tartybikes, 160 post mount frame to 180 roters just states + 20 mm looks the same as the L from hope picture on website. hope that helps
Less than 1mm at the rotors widest diameter (sawtooth floater)
Not been a problem in over 2k miles on my hardtail.
" Less than 1mm at the rotors widest diameter (sawtooth floater) "
you mean the pads [i]do[/i] overlap, but only by less than 1mm ?
Yes
Really it's not a problem
I too use a H adaptor instead, it's been fine on 3 seats of Hope brakes (Minis, Mono Mini2's, V2's) and some Shimano XT
OK thanks
Ian - I'm being pedantic here, but your V2 rotors will have been 183mm 😉
pad overlap isnt too much of a problem, until the unworn parts touch each other. Thats when the pistons start twisting and you quickly run out of braking power.
