onzatpro09 Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 (edited) Recently I had some stuff nicked from my garage and claimed it on insurance, as you do, and was I given some money for a website, www.bikereplacement.co.uk (or something to that effect) by my insurer. I decided that instead of buying a new mountain bike with the money which I probably wouldn't ride, I'd spruce up my zoot. I was planning on getting some 203mm MT2s for it, but because you need to spend ALL of the money on the site OR recieve it ALL in cash minus a bit, I decided to buy some stuff of of the site. If I were to buy MT2s like initially planned, I would end up with money to spare-a right waste- so I bought 2 203mm MT4s, assuming they're better somehow. I am not a disk man, I've only ever dealt with maggies so I just went on the fact they are pretty and white and more expensive, so must be a better product After all of that probably unnecessary background, my question/s is: What are the differences between MT2s and MT4s? Will I regret this choice? Was it worth it or should I have bought the MT2s and a bottle rack instead? Thanks in advance, Joe.

isitafox Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 Not sure about the difference between 2's and 4's but you'll regret buying 203mm discs when your chainstay decides to abandon ship Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onzatpro09 Posted November 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 It's only a test bike to see if I like streety geo as I've only ever rode pure geo frames. Planning on getting an inspired frame at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 Well bare in mind that Fourplay's are only covered under warranty with 180 discs as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onzatpro09 Posted November 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 I might be mistaken but doesn't Ali run a 203 on the back? I suppose he gets new frames given to him or whatever being sponsored and that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD™ Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 He also doesn't ride a Zoot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEON Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 (edited) Well bare in mind that Fourplay's are only covered under warranty with 180 discs as well I was not aware of that! Don't suppose they'd ever know though. I might be mistaken but doesn't Ali run a 203 on the back? I suppose he gets new frames given to him or whatever being sponsored and that He might use a 203 now, but he told me once he chose 180 over 203, then again his frame will outlast several Zoots!

dezmtber Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 Mt4's have bat adjust, or bite point adjustment. so you get two lever adjustments, lever position and the amount of movement ( bat) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
