x-fusion slant rotor compatibility

frankspencer1979

Does anyone know if a 203mm Hope floating rotor can be made to work with an x-fusion slant fork?

They force you into buying a 203mm disc (swine) which is to be mounted directly, no adaptor, but the middle of the disc fouls the caliper where it bolts to the fork. Calipers are SLX.

file it or buy a different rotor

Hope floating are much thicker in the middle and at the rivets and often cause problems, especially on Shimano callipers, buy a sensible disc and be done with it.

I used a phone floating rotor and superstar floating rotor on both sets of slamts I owned. I never had a problem, however I always used hope m4 Calipers. Don't remember having any issues whatsoever.

I text my rotors when they misbehave.

God damn ipad auto correct! If I have rotor problems I turn them off and back on!

Hope rotors often clash with Shimano calipers. It's nothing to do with the forks.
Get some normal rotors, floating rotors give no performance advantage.
