Recommended Posts

HEY THERE,

Please can someone help me with buying my frame and making sure i get the right size disk rotas!

im buying a czar 20" freetrials mod frame! and am also buying a avid for the rear brake bb7 i think, i have been told to purchase 160mm rotas, is this right, are these the best? smaller the better? but im wondering if me buying the czar disk frame is going to set the calaper low enough to accept the rota? if i get a larger rota, can you buy like a rasier to raise the calliper up to take the lager disk rotas! what is the czar frame mad for what size rota??? please help me? :(

many thanks,

chris!!

p.s ive seen somone else who has made a bracket for the rear disk! so that the calliper is set in the right possition so that the brake will work propperaly is this nesssary ??

The Czar mod comes with a IS disc mount. Meaning International Standard, which means 160mm. I presume.

But yeah, if you buy a 160mm Avid Rear BB7 it'll fit perfect. If you buy a 185mm Avid BB7 it'll also fit. Why? Because the bracket you talk about it included with the rotor. In the standard kits they give you the correct size adapter (bracket) for the rotor included that fits straight onto the IS disc mount.

I can't make it any more simpler, sorry.

Hope 160mm IS kit will also work. It's only if you have a funny hub or non IS mount that you need to mess about generally.

Are you buying from Tarty? If so they will supply all the stuff you need. If you go with a Hope Mono Trial, get 160mm, if it's BB7 go 185mm.

Also bigger the rotor = more the power. But it means more weight, and more chance of hitting the rotor.

Also some frames can only fit certain rotors. Like no bigger than 185mm. But i don't know about the Czar?

thaaks mate, you have been such a great help. bassically my friend has just bought the echo lite from tarty, and this is a duel disk, they are too bb7's i think! i rode it and and did a feuw cherry hops, and blunted a wall. i likeed the feel of the brake it felt solid and not slip etc. i asked him what the where, he said, "they are to avid's" I WAS LIKE OHH SO YOU DONT NEED expensive brake to do a good job? they are to 160 rotas. i am getting the czar 20" for christmas and want to buy a rear disk hub (probably a v!z fixed screw on) and want to bb7's but my to real questinos are,

1. whats to stop you buying a frame or brake calliper that isnt high enoguh to fit he correct rota?

2. are bigger rota's or smaller rota's betta, and if i buy a bigger rota is there such this as a adapter brackekt?

tthank you !

what bike have you got do you use disks?

many thanks, chris :mellow:

I dont quite understand what you mean but.

If you buy a new disk it will come with the appropriate adaptor (mount) if you buy a 160mm brakeit will come with a 160mm adapter if not you can always buy these seperatley.

bigger rotors mean more power but also mean more stress on the frame.

160mm is better for mod.

Dude, work on your typing, it's a bit messy.

I don't fully understand your first question here. But basically if you have a big rotor, it might hit the chainstays, so ring up and see what's the biggest you can use.

Question 2; I also explained that in my first post.

What bike have a i got? I've only used dual disk on a Monty, just because i could never afford it before.
