• People of Gravel. I have a problem, and as forward thinking bike riders I need your opinion.

    My Hope RX4+ Flat Mounts are the +20 variety, which looks pretty and does away with an adapter. Now this wasn't an issue on my SL7 which was obviously 140 standard. But the issue is my Crux is already +20 and thus 160 standard.

    So what do I do? both options will cost the same.

    1. 180mm disc? This would involve changing the rear one also to both be CL mountain bike as they don't do the road one in 160mm.
    2. New RX4 calliper and adapter. This would not be pretty like the current solution.

    For reference: I'm a little fat and it's hilly round here, so a 180mm disc would not be insane and I don't think it would be too out of place on a 61cm frame either.

  • By +20, do you mean that you bought too 'front' RX4+ callipers? I have the non+ versions, one front flat mount (longer), one rear flat mount (shorter) - neither need an adapter as it's built in - and was running 160mm rotors on my Diverge.

    Hope have a rotor size to rider weight + bike chart, and for gravel they suggest 180 front and 160 rear for the well fed chaps and defo shouldn't look out of place.
