williams Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 Ordered 2 new saints with 203 XT rotors today for the inspired People who say money can't buy happiness obviously doesn't know where to shop! And just sold my avid brakes that came with the inspired Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 Arent 203's a bit overkill? 180's would have been more than fine Id imagine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The avid brakes with 180's slipped a bit when riding TGS'y riding, so I just wanted to be on the safe side. Plus it looks awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 Saints and 203's will be overkill haha. Each to their own, hope you enjoy them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isitafox Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 Pretty sure Ali C either runs or has run 200mm rotors on Saints so they should be spot on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williams Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 Saints and 203's will be overkill haha. Each to their own, hope you enjoy them Haha I might get smaller rotors if I don't like it. But yeah I like my brakes to be 'overkill' 203mm rotors void the warranty on fourplays. Meeeh, should be alright Pretty sure Ali C either runs or has run 200mm rotors on Saints so they should be spot on! Yeah I'm sure of this aswell, plus Duncan shaw, and Danny Mac. Should work good 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should work good I don't think Duncan runs 203's, nor does Ali as far as I remember. 203 Saints are most certainly overkill and as has been mentioned will void your warranty. You simply don't need that level of stopping power with the type of forces you're likely to put through the bike. The only reason Danny runs a 203 on the back is due to the huge backwards forces he puts through the bike with abubaca's and 180 drop gaps etc from huge heights. Your average rider simply doesn't need that, it'll just be a bigger, heavier rotor that's more likely to bend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both Duncan and Ali C does, look at the green bike in the photo from yesterday (Shoutout to G for the picture). And for Ali C look at his newest video: It might be overkill, but that's how I like my brakes. It was my own decision and sorry but your opinion is not going to put me off doing it. Not even a tiny bit. I appreciate your concern for my frame etc, but I've been wanting to try this out for a long time now Edit: I don't do this because I want to follow others footsteps. I just like my brakes being 'overkill', and that's how it always has been! Edited January 22, 2014 by williams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shercofray Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 I had a 180 and changed to the 203 on my saint. I loved it even more when I changed! You'll love them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

williams Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 Yeah m820 Sweet, those where the ones I got! How are they compared to the m810? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shercofray Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 I prefer the M810 the lever feel was a lot nicer. However I think the hold is better on the M820. But a lot of people swear by M810's and i can see why. Both awesome brakes though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 My phone doesn't stop ceasing to impress me. Earlier on Iwas cooking and using my pphone to reel off the recipe and method. My hands were messy from the food so I couldn't touch the screen of my phone but I looked at the phone and as it has eye detection it recognised me looking at it and kept the phone lit as it was about to go out meaning I could just keep referring back to it hands free. Thought it was a bit gimmicky at first but it's actually incredibly useful! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King C Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 I've going to the gym, for maybe 6 months now, doing weights and getting tonk (nah I'm still scrawny) but I never really did any endurance. I started my sessions with a 5 min run to warm up. Today out of nowhere I smashed 10k in 62 mins (gutted I didn't break the hour mark - stupid slow start) so now I'm training myself up for tough mudder. Got 8 months to become a tough mudding machine! Pretty chuffed with myself and I still feel I had some in me to go further! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross McArthur Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 I don't think Duncan runs 203's, nor does Ali as far as I remember. You simply don't need that level of stopping power with the type of forces you're likely to put through the bike. Yup, I can confirm they run 200-203 rotors. Last time I felt Duncans back brake it was shit though And not everyone "just does manuals" Matt. Some of us need our brake to stop us, not just slow us down.

JD™ Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 I was thinking about moving up to a 203 so that I can pussy out of moves even later. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty chuffed with myself and I still feel I had some in me to go further! get on your pull ups and dips now! i thought i was strong enough; i could do 24-30 of each before being out of steam. but it wasn't near enough for me to do the monkey bars at the end, i ended up buggering my shoulder as a result and have been out of training and bikes for 3-4 months. And start running on real surfaces not treadmills as soon as you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
