What floating rotors are compatible with avid elixirs and fox forks?
i have heard hope are not compatible with elixirs and that superstars are not compatible with fox forks. looking at 180 front/160 rear

Agreed, essentially pointless.
FWIW though I ran Hope floating rotors with Elixirs and Fox Forks with no problem.0 -
Some fox forks have better clearance than others."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

Depends on the hub too - Chris King can be problematic.0

If you only want to use half the pad for braking?I don't do smileys.

avid do their own floating rotors, ive found that its always better to use the same manufacturer when it comes to discs and brakes. as mentioned if you dont use the specified rotor your pads may not be fully utilised and if the rotors brake track is narrower than your pads you could wear a groove in the pads.Viner Salviati
