Hi Guys,

Is anyone running the new shimano, (xtr,xt,slx) brakes but with HOPE FLOATING discs?

IS the braking surface, (disc depth, width etc) OK and match/work well?
I know I have to have the same size dia but not sure on the rest as I don't have any to hand to measure.

Thanks.

I think they are fine, brake area is very similar sized.

Question has been asked before on here so search would probably tell you more.

I had a hope floating disc where the rivets fouled the shimano calliper, was told you could file the calliper down a little but I just switched rotors. few years ago, calliper/rotor design may have changed slightly since then.
