I've got a bit of an issue with a few things, hopefully some of you can help my sorry backside.
I've got a hope disc caliper on the front wheel. The two rotors that came with it are slightly different but both too small. They are 165mm in diameter.
Question 1 - How far into the caliper should the rotor go? (only goes half way with this rotor.) the pic below has no rotor attached by the way
Question 2 - I've got two different types of bolt to secure the rotor to the mount and each disc has different holes. One has a tapered hole, the other is totally flat. Which is the norm?
Note: If i use the black bolts on the flat rotor, the wheel will not turn round as the bolts catch on the forks!! The best case scenario at the moment is the tapered bolts on the tapered hole'd rotor. BUT then the pad is only being half warn as the brake zone is half empty.
I'm assuming a need a larger disc (something like 180/190mm?) with tapered holes, and that is 5 bolt. How do i know which bloody one to get? I think the brake is a hope hydro?
Any help is appreciated!!!
thanks
