much help needed as need to get this sorted for new build without wasting time and money.

I currently have hope V4 tech brakes 2013 and run these with hope 160R and 183F floating rotors which are 6 bolt but the new build will have centre lock wheels (dt swiss xrc1250 with 190 ceramic hubs) and I still want to retain the hope V4 calipers and levers, my question is this:

a) will dt swiss centre lock adapters work with hope floating rotors at both sizes?

b)if the hope rotors wont work with adapters will any other centre lock rotors work with the V4 calipers?

Many thanks

I've no idea if they're exactly what you're after, but I've got some centrelock- 6 bolt adaptors in the stuff I'm selling on the classifieds? As far as I know 6 bolt is pretty standard across rotors?

I found that I couldn't use Hope floating rotors with centre lock hubs. The rivets, which attach the discs to the carrier, fouled the brake mounts on my frame (5-spot) and forks (Revs). Changing to standard Hope rotors was the solution.

As boxfish says,
Hope floating rotors won't work with 6 bolt to centre lock adapters, they're too thick, can't be tightened securely and rub on the adapters, any none floating rotors should be fine.
