[#2551653]

Hi, just taken the plunge and ordered a pair of Hope Pro 3 SP XC3 On Stans Crest Rim. Will be running them with new 2011 XTR brakes but not sure what rotors to put on the wheels. Any advice??
Cheers

I think you can only use shimano ones....

I've got ProIII xc3 on 4.2d. Given that they are light xc (race) wheels, I'd recommend sticking with 160 or 180s. If you need more than that then you bought the wrong wheels ๐Ÿ˜‰

IIRC they come with 3 bolt rotors incl - as they are only made by Hope. You should have been asked when you ordered them?

Yup - deffo 160s for XC use. Will have to find out whether they are coming with rotors now - not sure why I wasn't asked!?

LBS - which I think is getting them from Hope directly. I will go back to them in the morning and check. Do Hope rotors work with XTR I guess I should ask - sure they will but worth checking.

I think they're wider if I remember correctly...

I use mine with SLX (#Edit - and Oros) and they're fine.

I've just done a google and the only 3 bolt choices are 160 or 180 variants(180/183/185). I guess you would get 160's by default.
