Have been offered a set of wheels by a friend that is tempting me, but would need to change the adapters and rotors
They’re Hope Pro 3 SP-AM4 wheels, which use a specific 4-arm rotor. Current setup is :
FRONT: 20mm front axle with 203 rotor at the front
REAR: 10mm rear axle for DT Swiss axle 180 at the back
My current bike uses 15mm front and 9mm QR rear, and I run 183 front and 160 rear rotors.
AXLES: Ideally I’d like to be able to use the wheels anywhere. Is it a big job to swap over to a 9mm axle at the rear? Which kit do I need? The front wheel should be an easier job, as far as I can see it’s just a matter of getting the new adapters and swapping them over, be it 15mm or QR.
BRAKES: This might be more tricky. 203 / 180 is frankly overkill for what I do, but it might be cheaper and easier to get new adapters rather than new rotors. I was considering buying a 160 rear brake rotor and putting the 180 on the front, but it might be easier just to buy 2 new adapters and live with bigger disks. Is it possible to run 180 front with a hope tech X2 brake? all the adapters I’ve seen are for 183 front.
Another question, are Pro2 hub adapters compatible with Pro3 hubs and vice versa?
thanks in advance
