Kenevo SL What brake post mount do you need for Hope Floating Rotor.

[MrMarzocchi]

Hope got me to buy the wrong one...Kenevo SL...my rotor hits the SRAM caliper the rotor is 200mm

Sometimes its very close and the best solution is to file a bit off the mount.
Whats the rotor size ?. Upping that can give you the clearance too.

 

[CjP]

You have to grind back the brakes

 

[militantmandy]

What size is the rotor and what size is the mount? At a guess you have a 20mm mount but should have a 23mm.

Sorry it's a 200mm rotor. I was looking at filing a bit back but didn't know if that'd mess it up. Is this normal practice or ?

200mm rotor an I think 180mm mount

 

[Konanige]

That'll be because they are designed to run with Hope brakes not Sram. Buy the correct rotors then you won't have to BODGE anything.

Dont make it sound like a bad word The art of the fettle is a tradition held in high esteem in the MTB world.

Mine's the same, the steel bobbin will soon remove the excess aluminium.

Oh so you just ran it yeah..

 

[Doomanic]

Yeah. Weirdly, it doesn't clash on the Rail with Shimano brakes.

 

[MrMarzocchi]

Yeah. Weirdly, it doesn't clash on the Rail with Shimano brakes.

You've got SRAM though on yours havent ya? We both got same bike an coloured discs I think

 

[Doomanic]

Yeah, the KSL has Sram brakes, the Rail has Shimano brakes. I transferred the wheels from the Rail to the KSL when I bought it.

Did you wear down the shimanos or the SRAM calipers?

 

[Doomanic]

Sram.

I really ought to chuck a Shimano caliper on there to see if it's the frame or the caliper at fault.

 

[MrMarzocchi]

Sram.

I really ought to chuck a Shimano caliper on there to see if it's the frame or the caliper at fault.

From a bit of research I heard SRAM are the least compatible with these discs but as long as it works.. did you change your mount or keep the SRAM one?

 

[Doomanic]

Kept the Sram one.
