What size (diameter) rotors are you after, pretty sure I still have some of the thicker (newer) Formula rotors at home that only saw very light use...
Was after a 203 and a 180 6 bolt.

Winner winner, brake rotor dinner. Pre-scrubbed in for your convenience! (I don't have the screws though, NFI where I've put them...)

1.8mm, same as my other rotors. That's 203mm.

I always though they were thicker for some reason (like 2.0mm+)...
I just went and measured the ones I have and they're all 1.9mm
The Hope floating rotors are 1.8mm
My conclusion: the Formula "Monolithic" rotors must be made out of some magical non-bendy material then - because all my Hope rotors have always slightly warped after each ride (I run my brake pads really close, so any warpage is quickly evident), but the Formula ones always ran dead straight.

Hurts. Requires Money. And is nerdy.
Are the hopes floating?

Yep, probably 6 or seven different rotors. They've all done it. They don't warp horribly and you don't feel anything when braking, you just hear the faint brake rub.

Just floating rotor things. Shimano floating jobbies don’t warp much because they aren’t “proper” floating rotors. The pins are too tight.

I hope so because the rotors I have at the moment are annoying! I still haven't put yours on yet.

Am I daft for considering these or should I close the browser?

Haha yeah good point, must avoid literal shiny things!
I don’t have bookface so can’t see the add. I wouldn’t if you want to go 12 speed though.

custom titis
They are old and had tonnes of use - but price was reflective of that - I don’t see an advantage to the cranks other than buying them because you want them - always a valid reason in my books
