mat hudson Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 um, 180 or 203 i'd have said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 180mm would seem perfect to me . I had 160mm on my mod and it was pants. 203mm would be overkill i think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mat Smith! Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 Get the 180, 160's alright, but once it gets the slightest bit hot it goes shocking.Id go for the 180 anyway.Mat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 Tic's 160 is mad, and I like mine too, but you've got to bear in mind the whole "bigger wheels" thing with 24s/26s. You've got to run a larger disc for it to feel the same, so a 185 would be ideal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've got to run a larger disc for it to feel the same, so a 185 would be ideal. Thats exactly why im telling you to go for a 180 chris!

smelly joe Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 I had a good chat with clive last week about disk sizes for the front, and he said that kris is runng a 140mm hope mono trial on the front and that it is plenty powerfull enough.he persuaded me to use a 160 instead of a 180, so i would say 160 would be fine.
