Hi guys I've fitted Hope E4 brakes to the 2018 high tower but if I fit hopes floating rotors the rivets foul the post mounts the hold the brake on, also on the fox 36 forks too! Just wondering if I get rid of the hubs and fit hope hubs would this free up some room to fit floating discs? Looking for someone with the same bike who has had this problem

Why not just fit normal rotors?

I does have normal rotors, but I wanted colour coded rotors

Really shouldn't be happening on the forks. No idea about the frame.

Fitting a Hope hub on the rear wont sort it. I actually believe it'll make it worse, but I'm pulling that from memory from the MTBR thread on it.

Shimano Ice Tech rotors fit without fouling the rears. I'm going to try an Uberbike Radiator rotor on my LT in the next day or so to see how that fits on the rear. It should be ok. Hope rotors are known to be thicker than most normal rotors.

No idea why it's causing a problem on the Fox 36 though. That shouldn't happen.

I don't have that bike, but I do have the forks and 205mm vented floating disc rotors. Are you sure the front rotor is the right way round?
