Hi Guys,

Just a quick question...

I've bought a set of Hope Mono Mini to replace my current Shimano set-up and a little confused with fitting them and in regards to the different mounting points available.

On the front, the calliper doesn't line up at all; I'm assuming I will need an adapter?

On the rear, the calliper does line up correctly however I'm unsure how I'm supposed to adjust the calliper to allow the disc to sit central within the pads... at the moment, the pads pulls to one side.

I've posted some images below for you too get a better idea of what mounts I have.

What is it I need in order to get these callipers fitted?
Hoping to have them in place for the weekend as I've got a ride out planned :|

Thanks for your help in advance. :)

    Front you need IS to post mount in the right size for your rotors.

    Rear some washers as spacers might work.

    But without seeing the calipers in situ it's hard to say.

    Older Hope also came with specific fittings for different forks and rear mounts.

    Presume you could always put the Shimano back for the weekend?

    I'll nip and get an extended bolt tomorrow to compensate for the washers.
    Wasn't sure if that would work but logically it would be fine.

    Front I will try and get an adapter.

    Rear shimano has not bite whatsoever so not really safe to ride and don't have a bleed kit to resolve the problem.

    Just not having much luck :lol:

    Thanks for the help :D
