The Hitcher Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 Hi i have a bb5 disk on the rear in 160 rotor and i want a 185 rotor. I have the adapter for the brake to fit a 185 rotor but all i can find is 180 rotors, will they fit ? Does the 5mm make a difference?Cheers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaRtZ Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 I see you're running a mod, 5mm (don't forget, thats 2.5mm on each opposing side) is hardly anything, and if it is, you can always tweak the positioning with your fantastic horizontal dropouts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aener Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 Sure it'll work Just maybe not quite as well as it could, with matching sizes.I can't see it being a big problem, to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
