225mm rotor with 888's. Where can i get a +20mm mount?

Just bought a hope 225mm rotor and cant seem to find a +20mm post to post mount for this size disc.
CRC dont have one and they have not come across this problem before.
Cant just use a mount for 183 to 203 as it screws up how it sits in relation to the disc.
The specs for these forks state a max of 9" disc, so there must be something on the market that i am failing to turn up with google.

get some spacers made up and use with longer bolts and then the post 203mm adaptor.

why do you need such a big rotor? the brakes must be a bit poor.

i've got some 888's and I'm running Codes for the simple reason that Hope and 888's don't go together very well. :?

As nick said, you can just stick some extra washers on since it's post mount, however Hope told me that you do lose a bit of efficiency of the brake due to there being more flex.

Not sure how true that is but it seems to be logical.

Running hope moto 6s which are great and a good fit, but after very long hard descents they get bloody hot and stink.
Also want to save my hands as a week in Morzine in the summer was tough work on the fingers.
Didnt want to use washers for that very reason, as 12mm of washers will move about a bit.
If there is nothing on the market i will have to find some 12mm ally and get some holes drilled in it. A job for my design and technology teacher mate me thinks. lol.
cheers.

i have 888s and i run hope moto m4s. the m4s squeal in the wet like a pig being mutilated and when the start to squeal the power goes and there rubbish. brilliant in the dry though> 8)

Just stumbled upon my old thread so thought I would update it.
This was the solution I came up with in the end.
Got my mate to chop a Hope bracket up and drill some holes. Then with 2 spring washers bolted it all up.


Worked perfectly without any movement.
Since sold on the monos and replaced with Hope V2 evo for some insane stopping power. I can lock up the front wheel on tarmac with one finger :shock:


And here is the bike it is on, my Trek session 10, which is currently in pieces on the dinning room table, awaiting being sprayed in Blaze green plasti-dip when it comes back into stock.
Running 888 RC3 WC, Straitline flats, Works components 1.5 degree angleset and offset rear shock bushes to give a relaxed 63.5 degree ish head angle. Can't wait to get out to Morzine again this summer for my 4th time
