[Closed] 203mm Hope Brakes on Fox 36.

My front disc was worn out so I thought i'd upsize the 180mm (for which the caliper direct mounts to the fork) to a c200mm.

Bought 203mm disc and mount C (forgetting that it was direct 180 not direct 160).  Ok, so I figure I need a +23 mount.  Surely that's Mount H - converts a post 160 to 183, hence should also do a 183 to 203?

But that doesn't work either - seems to come up a few mm too small and the disc hits the caliper. I've tried it both ways up.  This MTBR thread seems to suggest the H should work.

  • Mount C - Post Caliper to Post (F-203/R-203)
  • Mount E - Post Caliper for Fox 40 (F-203)
  • Mount H - Post Caliper to Post (F-183/R-183)
  • Mount L - Post Caliper to Post (F+R 160-180)
  • Mount M - Post Caliper to Post (F+R 160-200)

What have i missed?

That makes sense - confirms a 160-180 mount works as 180-200.  Can't work out why it's not working on my 203 with an H.

Will give Hope a call tomorrow.  Definitely not running.

I know Shimano's +23 mount was a +20 mount with some washers at one point but Hope specifically make different mounts.

Sounds daft but have you tried the mount the other way up? Can't remember which Hope mount i was using but i had to flip it to what looked like the norm and it worked perfectly.

I would have thought H would do the trick.

On a similar theme my Fox 36 with 180 direct mounts, with Hope caliper, 200mm Hope disc and Hope K adaptor - still needs a small washer under the lower bolt to avoid binding...

My friend has the same issue - I think it might just be a thing?!

Now you mention it I had the same thing. Thin washer sorted it out.
