Hey there,

I had echo pure forks and was running a 180mm hope trials on it.

180mm is pretty much standard and will fit most trials forks without any adapters or anyhting like that. I pretty much just got it in the mail and then bolted it straight on and it was good to go. Plenty of power in the 180mm hope too. I have only seen bigger on those 203mm avid mechanical ones, but I dont really like mechanical brakes so i never needed a rotor so large. Given that your on an inspided, you wont need anyhting bigger than 180mm anyway.

I used to say you never need more than 180mm on the front of a stock, until I had to get a 200. (Changed my forks to TrialTechs that have a +20mm mount).

Now I say, you NEED 200mm.

hehe valid point. You can never have too much power.

Thanks why I switched to front magura with a nice grind and heatsink blue pads. I would never look back. Some days now, my front brake holds better than my back one!!

But on an Inspided, you wouldnt need more than 180mm I dont think?

At least if your worried about compatability, with 180 you shouldnt have any worries.

Well thats not true, you can have to much power! I had a 180mm bb7 on my echo 07 and it snapped them
