DR ◣◢ Posted November 8, 2013 Share 203mm V4 rotors vs the normal 203mm floating rotors. Are they worth the price premium. Especially since I only ever ride the spruit. And by spruit I mean PDS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And by spruit I mean PDS.I'm quite partial to the Shimano XT floating units myself. The look the dogs bollocks and don't cost the earth. You don't need hope specific rotors with the V4's like you do with the V2's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't need hope specific rotors with the V4's like you do with the V2's I also like the look of the XT units. Clean and minimal. Not a huge fan of how the Hope units look. Plus the vented rotors are R1200 each Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR ◣◢ Posted November 8, 2013 Share Also... Am I correct in saying you can run the Tech 3 V4 on a 183mm rotor at the back. IIRC the V2 only allowed 203mm rotors. Checked the tech sheet http://www.hopetech.com/webtop/modules/_repository/documents/2014Tech3EVOX2-E4-V4.pdf No mention of limitations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LazyTrailRider Posted November 8, 2013 Share I'm quite partial to the Shimano XT floating units myself. The look the dogs bollocks and don't cost the earth. Yep, the main reason I run them. They also make this cool pulsing sound, love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no limit per se on the caliper. also the V2 rotor has a whole bunch of wasted material if you aren't running V2's so those aren't recommended. The vented rotors are a complete waste of time IMHO. They are heavy and ridiculously expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
braailegend Posted November 8, 2013 Share I ride 203 in front and 160mm hope floating rotors, awesome stuff. I hate XT, so not comment on that, lol The look is probably either love or hate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
