i purchased some hope mono 6 ti's and I'm having trouble location an adapter the will work with the manitou dorado I'm running. Any suggestions on shops or places one could find one? I wouldn't mind a shop familiar with the brakes that could bleed/set them up as well.

Otherwise I may just throw slx's and run them for opening weekend.

Thanks

Try giving Matt a call - he used to be (might still be) the Western US distributor for Hope. http://casinobicycles.com/

The Manitou adaptor for the 6tis is super hard to find now. I think the Dorado had it's own proprietary mount, too?

Awesome brakes.

Check with Matt at NSBS too (they stock lots of Hope) if shops are a dead end, email Zac Smith, the local Manitou rep, he might be stocking some small parts:

You could also try contacting Hope directly.

NRG in Nelson is the Hope distributor for Canada.

Those 6 pot things had a funky special mount, finding one is going to be problematic.

I have a few mounts for the 6 pots, not sure if they work on a Dorado though. I ran Hopes for years, still have Monos on my DH rig

Contact NRG direct. Needed an seals for an older Hope brake no longer in production and they still had the older seal kits.

Even better…sold it to me direct from them.

x 2… NRG will get you rolling… they are down the road from me and I've dealt with them as a consumer and now a shop owner and they are awesome…
