kristaps Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 So is this rotor better than original hope mono trials rotor? I want to use it for rear brakes. Please help! Kristaps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muel Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 My mate had one, it was pretty rubbish. No idea why, but when he changed it to a standard Hope rotor the brake was transformed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forteh Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Probably too much surface area, the mono trial disk has huge cutouts and small actual metal contact area. Whilst the friction area is smaller on the hope, the pressure applied is over a much smaller area so you get more bite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex-Mitchinson Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Well apparently it's designed so it offers best performance in both forward and backward motion. However, it's mainly just a way koxx can ensure you keep buying from them because it's 155. instead of 160. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 160 standard rotor fits fine, when he had the standard one it was always sticking out of the caliper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex-Mitchinson Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 No, it doesn't. You have to have the wheel quite far back in the drop outs other wise the rotor rubs on the caliper, where as the 155 eliminates this problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrAsHeR Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Yeah I had one and they are really bad. I changed to a hope one and the braking was much better. Ps: I don't have any problems with a hope rotor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
