Skoze Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 a 160 on a mod is more powerful than a 200 on a stock It's got more than enough power! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsy trials matt Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 (edited) the real answer is dont go dual disk naa 160 should be fine, the koxx's use a 155 for some reason Edited July 26, 2008 by jsy trials matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 personally would go for a 203, 180 Minimum Youv'e never run DD on a mod have you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom aky Posted July 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 (edited) If i decide i dont like dual disk can easyly go back to maggy it has both mounts on the frame:) Edited July 26, 2008 by tom aky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Biddle™ Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 (edited) I take it you will be using the rear disc on your new rulong frame if so 160mm will be perfect im runninga 160mm and works better than eney brake i have ever used.Biddle Edited July 26, 2008 by David Biddle™ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam-Griffin Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 Youv'e never run DD on a mod have you?Not yet no I found 160 on the front to be not enough so i made the presumption (Wrongly maybe) that on the rear it would be worse, i found a 180/185 on the front was ok, but i prefered the feel of a 203 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom aky Posted July 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 Fair enough that Adam ill have to see maybe ill be able to try someones bike on a ride with 203mm disk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lil Jsy Chris Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 the real answer is dont go dual disk naa 160 should be fine, the koxx's use a 155 for some reasonYeah koxx make there's 155 to be annoying and male you buy them because they are probably the only 155 ones you can get.But yeah i use a 160mm on my rear and it works fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 Not yet no I found 160 on the front to be not enough so i made the presumption (Wrongly maybe) that on the rear it would be worse, i found a 180/185 on the front was ok, but i prefered the feel of a 203 I run a 203 BB7 on the front, and i like having power. but with a 160 Hope mono trial you just dont need anymore... well you just put it on and didn't have to think about it again, it just did the job a goodun, never slipped. With bigger rotors your getting less clearance, more chance of hitting and breaking, unessecary power which could damage the frame etc. 160 is more than enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaRtZ Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 After much filing and spacing, I ran a 180mm BB7 on the rear of my hydroxx (with a 203mm on the front ) Was lurrvly, held on some stupid stuff, was great But yeah I've ridden montys with 160mm hopes and they hold just as well. Just make sure its a good rotor (ie the standard one) and you'll be laughing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
