Running a 160 ice tech at the front though, if anyone has a 203mm ice tech please get in touch. Anyway- stopping power=yes 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrialsIsHard Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 (edited) a 203 on the front of a mod? Won't that be lethal (probably overkill too), and really likely to get smashed? Edited January 12, 2015 by TrialsIsHard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herbertlemon102 Posted January 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 a 203 on the front of a mod? Won't that be lethal (probably overkill too), and really likely to get smashed?it had a 203mm on the front for 15 weeks, but I took it off and put it on the back. It's only 43mm over a 160 extra disc to hit, if it's gonna happen, it's gonna happen. I've found ice tech stiffer anyway, and I can't sidehop for shit.

bing Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 I ran 180mm ice techs on my blade with Saints, and that was way overkill. But I liked it haha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onzatpro09 Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 You are my kind of man! The only reason I don't run 203s is that I don't want to invalidate the warranty on my frame. Does anybody know how much more likely you actually are to break your frame with a 203mm rotor? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anybody know how much more likely you actually are to break your frame with a 203mm rotor?hmm the simplest answer slightly more likely than a 180, and 180 is slightly more likely than a 160. It's just the amount of leverage over the frame as the callipers distance from the frame increases. That being said, I've only seen the brakes an adapters crack, the one frame I saw crack from a 203mm was with a disc tab that was an afterthought in terms of design Edited January 12, 2015 by Herbertlemon102 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway- stopping power=yes copy cat really dont see the need in ice tech rotors for a mod though, especially in 203mm, my brakes work insanely well with 180mm rt66 rotors and ive only had 3 rides on them 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJ Leigh Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 You are my kind of man! The only reason I don't run 203s is that I don't want to invalidate the warranty on my frame. Does anybody know how much more likely you actually are to break your frame with a 203mm rotor? A LOT more likely! Euan Beaden ran 203s on a 2013 fourplay team and snapped the frame after 5 months or so. however hes had 203s on an Arcade for over a year... im sticking with 180s on my Skye, mainly because not many people actually need 203s, and realistically i dont either (other than top riders i guess) and because if i ever go to a smaller rotor ill hate it haha. saying that, there are a few crazy people like Jamie who run 203s for DA ULTIMATE BRAKIN POWAR but other than that most people dont "need" them imo, and a lot of people run them to be like danny mac n stuff. i personally dont get the fancyness about 203s haha 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
