I need a custom rotor made, who out there does them?
Custom rotor needed

How custom do you need? Is there another rotor you could modify to work with your hub? What hub and brake combo is this for?

I just need somthing with 185mm OD and about a 95mm BCD for the bolts. I'm using an Avid Juicy caliper and the hub is a prototype.
Foes makes custom rotors for their front hubs and I assume there are custom rotors to run the Maverick fork (25mm axle?) so maybe start with those...
Is it possible to machine a stock rotor and relocate the mounting bolts? Or maybe you could just make spider that would accept a Hope outer rotor. You could buy a Hope 185mm 2-piece rotor drill the rivets to remove the spider and then CNC a new spider for your BCD.

email hope the CAD file. they probably wont charge you any more than their standard, custom rotor.trialsmasta said:
Thanks for that contact. I'm talking to hope right now. I though about machining my own but modification or custom made became the most viable solution. I spoke to Galfer who makes Foes rotors but their minimum numbers where waaaaaaay to much for what I need. Even though a rotor looks pretty simple there is alot in terms of analysis and manufacturing processes that goes into making a good rotor. Flatness, hardness and resistance to warpage to name a few. I think hayes even has a patent on their rotors.
