Hello

Has anyone out there come accross the following the issue. I have just fitted a Hope Tech X2 brake system to the rear of a 16" On One 456 carbon, The IS to post adaptor has been fittied correctly and the disc size is 183mm. I cannot align the caliper with the disc as the caliper now fowls the seat stay. I do have access to a machine shop but I am reluctant to start carving bits of metal off my lovely new brakes?Any suggestions?

Cheers

:twisted: Manny

  • Sadly i dont think the rear will take a 183 hope rotor as i had the same problem but best confirm with On-One to confirm this but so far the 160 seams to handle the brakeing with no problem ..

    Being an impatient sod I took the plunge and filed off just enough alloy on the rear fixing lug on the caliper and hey presto perfect alingment and no fouling issues with the seat stay anymore :D
