I've got a new rear wheel coming
So i want to replace the current rear, which is a bog standard Shimano 410, 148mm boost but the rotor mount is centerlock, and pro4 is 6 bolt, so ill need to replace the rotor too, and as on the shimano the magnet is incorporated into the rotor, is there a 6 bolt Hope rotor with built in magnet ?



I also want to swop out the shimano 520 calipers for Hope V4 calipers, and was hoping to be able to add vented rotors to that, but the magnet thing is probably going to make that a no. I might just have to have the vented rotor up front.
. Im sure I've somewhere seen a standard non floating hope rotor with magnet option. Is this the case. Has anyone else fitted their own kit and ran into the same issue that they've sorted, and was it quite straight forward

I use a magnet on my 148 boost wheel which bolts straight on using one of the rotor bolts. I think there are lots of other similar magnets you can buy. Sorry I don’t have any knowledge of Hope rotors so can’t help you with that. 10BAA22F-5768-4CAF-8DB2-355C25FA10AC.jpeg

Righto, well thats one option. i'll probably ask my lbs i got the bike in, but failing this option, I might be able just to use the same rear rotor and a center lock to 6 bolt conversion kit. Seems a lot of faffing about there, but ill cross that bridge when i come to it.

Thanks for your input :cool:
