onzat-comp Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Hi everyone,I have a avid juciy 5 front disk with a 160mm rotor but i'm wanting to get a smaller rotor partly because i die everytime i press the front brake and partly because i keep hitting my rotor (and because i want to be different)... I'm looking for a rotor thats ither 140mm or 120mm and a adaption kit to fit...Any help would be greatly appreciated Rick x ohh - i have echo urban "20" forks if that helps too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam-Griffin Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Can't say that i've ever heard of any one wanting to go DOWN from a 160mm, only rotors i've ever seen smaller than that are on cheap bikes in places like halfords, check CRC though as i think they have a decent selection of Rotors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoze Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Only problem i can see (apart from lack of power) is that your caliper wouldnt work. loosing 40mm would be like running a 160 rotor with a +40 adaptor. the tiniest amount of rotor would touch the pad, thus making it gay.

matt rushton Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Hope make 140mm floting rotors, not sure if you can get them on avids though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavyn. Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Really you can't go down i've got a hope mini which is a 145 and it is pretty cool though smaller rotors look ace they just lack abit of the hold you get with a bigger one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grant wildman Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 Hope make rotors to work with any brake , so thats not the hard part to find , getting an adapter will though.140 front is pretty un heard of , though avid do make a 140 rear in the ultimate brake , though a rear 140 adapter would be 120 front .grant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
