Nope, those are the “modern” ones, not the “no lawyerz buzzsaw”...
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.
Any other insights also welcome!

Magura have got some new two piece with a 220mm option.

Damn, looks to be a decent heat dissipating design too.Magura have got some new two piece with a 220mm option.

Only negative I can see for non-motorbikers is quite heavy for 2 piece compared to regular.
I didn't see this the first time...Can I ask what adaptor you used?
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

What fork is that? Fox 40?
Yes
And on the rear too as i wanted MOAR BRAKZ
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.
What's your bike?
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.

Thanks very much. Your custom job is pretty cool.
I'm thinking about getting someone to make a 225mm adaptor, but depending on the cost, stacked adaptor, or 220mm adaptor plus spacer might be it.
Is that a TRP R1 rotor? 2.3mm thick?
You’re welcome!
Yes, that’s a thick TRP rotor. My Hope discs were rubbing the rivets on the adapter.
Cool, that's good to know.
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.
Anyway, thanks very much for all the info
