a friend of mine wants to know if he can use Hope ‘floating’ rotors on the following setup:

Bike: Specialized Stumpjumper FSR Comp (2009)

Front brake: Hope Tech M4 (183 floating disc?)

and

Rear Brake: Hope Tech X2 (160 floating disc?)

he asks:

“Are there any known compatibility issues with the above set-up with this frame or fork (Fox Float 120 RL, the front hub is a Specialized Hi Lo disc, CNC flange, sealed cartridge bearing, 9mm DT RWS, alloy QR, 28h).”

he would ask himself, but can’t be bothered.
