Hey

I was wondering if there is an adaptor for the magura louise FR to run a 8 inch rotor on a frame made for a 6? Also what are your opinions on using it for the rear if infact I can use an 8 inch rotor, because anything less than 8 won't be enough and I would have to get something else. In some older louise I think i remeber them having lever "pump"...does this brake have any lever pump or?

thanks

Hope makes a +20mm and a +40mm adapter for IS mounts.

Yes, Magura does make an adapter to use the FR caliper with a 203mm (8 inch) rotor. I have that exact setup on the front of my bike. I'm actually running a 180mm on the rear and have been since the summer of 2004. It is an excellent brake and does not pump when properly bled.
