Hey @mykel , were/are you running those hope floaters? I'm thinking about getting a set for overseas trips (Whistler trips, really). They'd be 225mm, so good for more power and better heat dissipation.
Any feedback in terms of longevity? I have heard that play between the braking surface and carrier develops, not so keen on that.
My understanding is that the new thicker rotors designed for Ebikes need a wider caliper to go with them. TRP makes an ebike caliper and thicker rotor, btw.
I have Hope rotors on mine and they hold up well. We put 225mm Hope rotors on my 68yr old Mom’s eMTB with great success. (I no longer hear complaints about brakes every other day.).
Fwiw i use a shimano 180-203 adapter on my 225mm hopes to go from 203mm pm to "226"
Was gonna put them in the mill to take 0.5mm off but when i saw them mounted there was no need

Yeah, 225mm front and rear is totally baller. Problem for me is the Boxxer is a PM 6 mount, and the closest I can find is a Formula PM6 to 220mm. I don't mind spacing it out, but a proper mount would be better.
I stacked a Formula adapter on top of a Shimano adapter. Kinda ghetto but it’s working.
On my DH bike (most ridden bike gets the best parts) I got a friend to make me a one piece adapter to go straight to 225mm. I had to use a spacer depending on 220, 223 or 225mm discs. We made it real stiff to avoid any howling/vibrations. Spacing gets tricky with big discs. Not every combo is compatible.

I've just changed to ECT pistons and seals on my Formula Ones, and there is a lot more piston rollback. Enough room to potentially get thicker rotors and the R1s caught my eye. I'll have to measure of course.
