OT: Ian,


:wink: I noticed your grass needs cutting! :wink:


Do the rotors come with bolts?
Are they Alu, Ti or steel?

Perhaps I should ask Superlite if he could pop around to cut the grass for me :lol:

:back2topic:

@ Tib - I got them through my local bike shop who ordered them directly from Hope. Try emailing Hope - I think you can buy direct from them - rrp here in the uk is £31 each for 140/160, £42 for 180mm.

@ Tippster - each rotor comes with 6 steel bolts, weighing 12.5g in total.

If they are re-designed for both heat dissipation benefits AND weight reduction, I fail to see why hope dont supply with Ti bolts. Weird!

Does anybody know if this rotors does work also with Formula Brakes in light of the rotor thickness / width?

I guess it depends on the question if Hope rotors does work normaly with Formula breaks...

Thanks
Think about the lightest part on your bike? Your brain! -Use it and do not buy any component, but the one which suits your riding style...

To keep the cost down for the end user I expect. Six titanium bolts is likely to add another 50% to the price, and £31 is enough to pay for a rotor as it is....
