Kot Ms2 + Bb7's....

[onzat-comp]

Hi all just a quick question,

As it says in the title I am wanting the new bb7's the front brake isn't a problem however I'm wondering wether the rear mount will allow me to use a 200 mm rotor...

any tech wizards know?

thanks guys and merry christmas for thursday

Check the frame manufacturer to see if they've put +40 on the mount, but I'd imagine it would be 160. It might be 180 (+20), mind, so ibn that case you'll need another +20 adaptor to make the rest up.

[N.Wood]

Its plus 20 so you'll need a 180 adaptor and 200mm disk.

[onzat-comp]

Right, so it will fit but i'd need a 200 disk and a 180 adaptor?

if not please explain

thanks for fast replys guys x

You need to buy a 200mm rotor if thats what size you want.

You need to buy a BB7 designed for use with a 180mm rotor.

The 180mm caliper in addition to the plus 20 mount = 200mm which also = the rotor you want.

If you want a 180mm rotor you want a BB7 designed for 160mm rotor.

You need one of those. Click the pic, you can buy it from CRC.

That, plus the inbuilt adaptor, makes it up to 200. You'll need the disc too.

thanks, all sorted just didn't get how the actual mount was placed for a 180 rotor

Might be a misunderstanding, but surely you can't fit a BB7 to a KOT, nor can you fit an adaptor of any sort.

Thats what i was thinking looking at Muels DD setup.

Are you thinking of the clearance for the frame?

EDIT: going to go out in the garage and sovle this shizzle.

EDIT NO2: Right dosen't fit I had it in my head that there would be enough space in between the chainstays for it.

So im guessing that a mono trial is my only choice unless somebody wants to proove me wrong

You can also use Magura Louise and Marta, but only the older style IS calipers.

Mine is incredibly tight with a rear mono trial, the holes have had to be filed oval to actually fit the caliper in the frame, and thats a standard rear caliper with a 180 rotor.

Unless the BB7 is an incredibly small caliper, you could't get a 200mm rotor in, unless the post mount adapter thingy moves further up towards the bb with each size you go up, instead of coming straight out like the hope ones.

Your best bet is just to ring up Tarty, they'll normally try it out for you with stuff like this, but from this photo below, the caliper is much taller than my mono trial, but in the pic it would have an adapter that's 1 size too big.

EDIT: You're all too quick for me! Try a louise, my brothers is fantastic, it has more bite and hold than any Hope I've had, but the lever feel is really stiff and there is hardly any modulation at all.
