Rockshox forks & Hope mini brake calipers ?

A16UYF

Hey there all,

I have a Rockshox SID WC forks & Hope Mini brake calipers and I'm having problems fitting them. i'm running a 160mm disc on the front.

The Forks are post mount and the calipers are IS but even with an adaptor it doesn't seem to want to fit.

Help is very much needed.


Cheers

you need a 180mm disc.

Are they the old ones with the gold bore cap?

Having just looked at the box, it says they are "Hope mini No 5's"

nicklouse

so there is a nice No 5 machined on the caliper body?

so 165mm front disc and 145mm rear disc.

so you will need a 185mm disc for the front.

Yeah,

Cheers for your advice.

What type of adaptor do i need to fix the caliper to my SID forks, since they are post mount?

nicklouse

a Post to IS.

I thought you had one.

but even with an adaptor it doesn't seem to want to fit.

what have you got? pics? and we can tell you what you need.
