I've been riding now for about a week on my shorter cranks. I got the Hope 155 Ebike units and all I can say is that I should have done it day 1. Bike feels much more responsive, climbs better and much more stable for me. I did not have to make any other adjustments to seat height or anything...
Had my Hope floating rotors installed today along with my Galfer purple pads. Night and day difference with my same DB8 brakes and the best part is that there is zero rubbing! Bedded them in and all I can say is WOW!
I did write to Hope and they were no help at all. All they did was suggest that I buy their brakes.
I did a test fit, and it looks like they will work. The area where the bolts are is slightly recessed, and there looks to be enough clearance.

My wife and I both ride Canyon Strive ON's, and we love almost everything about them. The almost, is because of the DB8 brakes.
I have read lots of posts both for an against these brakes.
Let me also add that my other bike, a Canyon Spectral...
Are you running the standard XTR setup with the Hope floating rotors or which ones? I am trying to find a better braking solution for my Strive ON. Thanks!
I am trying to achieve better braking without the cost of new calipers and levers. These bikes are heavy, and with the current stock setup, the braking only performs up to certain point.
Hello, I am looking for a good replacement rotor that will allow me to keep the SRAM DB8 brake system. I am not too happy with the centerlines that came on the bike. Will be keeping the same sizing of 200/220.
I have a set of the Hope floating discs on the way, but I am concerned that they will...
