If so, what size and type rotor are you running?

Just wanting to check clearances, wanting to run 203mm vented rotors, but hope and MRP don’t know if they’ll clear. I assume it’s the rivets that are the issue, so floating would be the same issue. Hope recommend going 200mm in that situation, but the vented ones only come in 203mm…

Can’t go 220mm as MRP reckon it might kill the fork 😢.

Whatchya running?

I did have a Ribbon with Hope E4's, No clearance issue with a 203mm Shimano floating rotor.

Thanks, but those are the rotors I’m running already, wanting to switch to Hope.

The floating might not be as wide as the vented. Pretty sure the brake track is thinner so would make sense the rivets were also thinner.

Assuming it's V4s that you want to run these with?

FFS, I’ve just re read the email, using my eyes this time, and apparently the issue is with the V4 caliper, apparently using a 180mm Post mount fork with and adapter causes issues with a 203mm rotor, only applies to some forks though?

Can’t see how that would be an issue, though it’s coming from Hope?
