N.Wood Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 160 on mod is fine, 160 on stock will work well, but may not be powerful enough for some gaps to front on rails and such.Try it and buy a 180 adaptor kit if it doesn't work well?

ramps Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 Going from my bike (185) to a mates bike with a 160 rotor on doesn't really feel any less powerfull. I don't think it will make a huge difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 203, mine is fantastic.

XPbIM3 Posted September 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 203mm disk looks huge, iam afraid its too easy to hit it when sidehopping(left side is my native)....anyway already oredered 185mm version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash-Kennard Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 203 may look big, but i havenever hit mine, and thats me, my bike is battered and i still havent hit it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Limburn Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 there is not a huge amount of difference reallyif you set the brake up well the 160 can be just as powerful as the othersmy 160 is insanely good atm i would prefer a larger rotor though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bennnn Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 There is def. no need for anything bigger than 160 mm on a mod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
