are there adapters for hope big un rear ---> 6bolt disc (hayes) rotors?

I don't think they make one, however, get the Hope 205mm rotor and space the caliper up 2mm since Hayes uses a 203mm rotor.
isn't this one.....?????
I guess I missed that, wonder if it messes with the caliper spacing.Originally posted by WestCoastHucker

i had the same thought....
but then again, i would never clutter-up my sexy hope hubs with one of these things........
Nope won't work, its for mounting on a 6 bolt hub.
I have a hope big un front hub. If you call hope they will sell you a hayes rotor with a 5 bolt pattern. mine was $44 + shipping for an 8" rotor.
however, I had to do 2 things to make it run right.
1. shave some material off my caliper mount because the rotor bolts were contacting the mount due to the larger hub...don't know if this is nesesary for a rear hub.
2. had to put small washers under the rotor in order to space it out a bit so it would center in my hayes caliper. the hayes caliper did not have enough adjustment to make up for the different offset of the hub. I got the washers at homedepot, they are really small.
pm me if you have any questions....

Why exactly does a burly hub matter, especially if you need an adapter or special rotor to work with your brakes?
The Bulbs are a great hub if you'd like a nice Hope. I love mine; they're convertible, and they're cheaper than King/Hadley. You will have longer spokes, I suppose, than the high-flange Big 'un, but I think that's pretty much an immaterial point, esp. in the face of the rotor difficulties and non-standard mounting patterns.
Just my Internet 2 cents...go with what ya like...

They are the same internals. Hope trivia.................Bulb stands for Big Un's Little Brother. The adaptor isn't threaded where the 6 bolt rotor mounts.
