Right, I've been putting it off, but will shortly be buying at least one new brake, because the lever assembly on my Hopes is screwed, and a new one is almost the price of a whole Saint brake.
I currently have the Hope spidered 203mm rotors that look like
I'd like to keep them because
a) I don't want to rebuild my wheels onto Shimano centrelock hubs
b) I've never warped/bent them, which is more than I can say for any non-spidered rotor I've ever owned
c) As far as I know they're the lightest 200/203mm rotors you can get (I weighed mine at 166g and compared to http://www.sicklines.com/weights/rotors)
If I buy a 203mm saint will it work fine with these rotors? I don't know if the saint has a much deeper pad so I won'd be getting full contact, and/or whether it'll hit on the "rivets" where the rotor joins the spider?
Similarly I'm considering Formulas The Ones for the light weight and bling factor (I know I know, I suck) - I'm guessing since they're 200mm that my rotors will be a no-go with them?
cheers
