The ebay link isn't working. You are going to use the brake on the rear or front? If it's for the rear you probably need a 3# calliper with an 160mm rotor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordAssworthMcThor Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 It works for me. Don't wanna sound like an ass but did you scroll down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JD™ Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 (edited) Oh ok its for the front. I was totally going to bid on that earlier, how much did it go for in the end?

ezgonzo Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 (edited) it's a #3 caliper so the smallest disc you would be able to run on a standard (IS) fork mount would be 180mm, so unfortunately you'd need to purchase another rotor if you plan on using it as a front brake, it would work fine with a 160mm rotor if you where going to be running it as a rear brake, but you'd probably have to change the hose in order to use it as a rear.

brammo Posted January 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 (edited) It better fit because if it doesn't I am going to cry. EDIT: Ok so all i need now then is a 180mm rotor? It doesn't matter that I had a 160mm before? I am just confused because wont that mean that the mounting point would need to move further out becuase the disc is increasing in radius.

ezgonzo Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 (edited) i'm guessing that your forks have a standard IS mount ( due to you prevously running a 160mm rotor ), if it is a standard IS mount then you will need a 180mm rotor due to your caliper being a #3, if it was a #5 caliper you could of used your 160mm rotor, the reason why you where able to run a 160mm rotor with your old brake was because your caliper was designed to run a 160mm rotor mounted on a standard IS mount, your new caliper has larger/longer mounts meaning that it sits 20mm further away from your forks.

ezgonzo Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 :$ :$ :$ , after having another look @ the pic it actually looks like a #5 caliper, my bad, in my defence the pic is somewhat deceiving @ first glance , so it looks as if you should be able to run your 160mm rotor after all.
