Urrrghhhh
Right I am considering using Hope floating Rotors with my Juicy 7's. I know ill have to ditch the tabs on the pads this is no problem however my question is..
My rear rotor is the Avid 185mm but Hope only do a 183mm version. Has anyone tried this and does the reduction, albeit small, in braking surface make much of a difference if any at all (especially as it is the rear brake).
I have the sneaking impression that the 1mm reduction at the caliper will be within tolerances and the pad will still have a full braking surface.
Second question has anyone encountered any issues using these rotors that I havent mentioned????
Cheers as always!

all i have to say is why?
no improvement in braking forces. more problems as people have issues removing avid pads as it is. the floaters often creak.
yes they are pimp."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."
