Gogz- Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 I would say give 180 a try and hope. I stuck a 180 on my jump bike going from a 160 and its twice as good. Still not to big but not to small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gogz- Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 (edited) Yeah that's what I'm saying.your question was... what disc brake should I get and what size? Well 180 rotor and hope mono!!! 203 will be massive and you prob won't need that much power your not doing dh on it or weigh 25 stone, and you prob will just smash it all the time Edited February 12, 2009 by Gogz- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neonneon Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 Get a 180 Avid.Bigger - easier to hit (can break wheels)Smaller - less power (harder to hit) lighter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
