Evening all, I've just bought some hope mini mono's and am confused on which rotors to use.

The bike already has shimano rotors as standard 180mm up front and 160mm on the rear, will these brakes simply bolt straight on using the adaptors already on the bike? The front is a post mount and rear is IS mount. The rear has no adaptor though.

The hopes were supplied with a front adaptor and I was given two 160mm hope rotors. The bike uses centre lock hubs and I was hoping to use the original rotors as I don't want to start using centrelock adaptors etc unless I really need to.

Sorry if this makes little sense, I'm fairly new to all this!!!!

Thanks

    if you use the correct adaptor yes you can use the current rotors.

    but it all depends on what you actually have.

    Hope have made many versions of the Mini over the years. Pics or part numbers.
