Do the newer style brakes (servo-wave) work with hope floating rotors? Cheers

didnt work on mine.....

xt 09 calipers. xt hubs. fox float rlc with hope floating rotors = no go!

rotor was catching far too much on post mount leg, coudlnt even shave a mm off to make it clear...

hopes answer was to get rid of my xt hub and get a hope pro 2 hub as they give greater clearance for the carrier on the rotor ๐Ÿ™

worked out ok in the end as shimano do a nice floating rotor now 6 bolt, which isnt quite as nice to look at as the hopes, but it does just as good job, no warping, quieter in the wet and all round better sharper braking ๐Ÿ™‚

i think its more of a hub issue, i guess if running hope hubs with hope floating rotors theres very little problem?

my xt hub and diameter of the carrier was too great to spin freely ๐Ÿ™

the xt floating rotor i have the carrier is indented where it bolts on meaning ive actually got greater clearance than with a normal rotor ๐Ÿ™‚
