N.Wood Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 Evening boys, girls, and Monkey, On my Azonic jump bike i've got a Hope Mini 165mm rotor on't back, and the rotor managed to smash it's self into a rock at high speed. Sooo... it's gone to a nice Pringle shape. I have a spare 180mm Magura rotor kicking around, so if i bought a +20mm adaptor, would that work? I don't think they (A-2-Z) do a +15mm... On a similar note, i have a plate of Alu about 6mm thick, would that be suitable for making one? I can't verify the quality of the alu, it was picked up in the D+T room, but yeh, i recon it's be possible, just wonder if it'd be strong enough or not? I don't want me back brake failing on me... Cheers for your help guys and girls, Woody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 +20mm should work :( 6mm plate won't work - you need the offset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Arnold Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 maybe you could have the adaptor(homemade from the 6mm stuff) on the outside of the original mount, then use another piece of plate(and washers if needed) to bring it back to the same level as the original mount? if you get what i mean hope that makes sense :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Thomson Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 Wouldn't that cut the pads 5mm short of fully wearing them down?? a 180 rotor on a 185 set caliper?? Hrm...Should work...may well bugger your pads though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
