That's one light and sexy bike!!

That's a nice looking bike!

Hopefully I will be out

i live in essex and ride in essex

I'm there but can't see anyone?

I'm 28 and I'm just getting back into the sport so age is no object just a number

I also recomend a sick day!

I'm in, where is best to park?

i'm up for a ride in Ipswich this Saturday if anyone want to do one

I am very grateful for all the advice and have taken it all in. I have decided not to sacrifice the power for the weight at the minute and at a later date put the smaller discs on to try it out and see how I get on. Cheers for all the help guys, AJ

I am running adaptors and 180 rotors so will loose a bit more than just the rotor size plus they will be more out of the way

Its for my gu-st mod, I just don't want to lose the hold I have on my 180's but would like smaller rotors so I can save weight

mmmmmm now the question is will the 160s be enough? I don't really want my brake slipping

how much difference in power between the 160 and 180 rotors then?

anyone with any advice on this

Clacton-on-sea

Ok so I have come to the conclusion that i might change from my 180 mono rotors to the 160 Rockman superlight rotors, so will I loose braking power, hold and bite or will i be best sticking with the bigger mono rotors? I really like the feel, power and hold of my brake now but want save a load of weight as then I can remove my +20 adaptors and put smaller lighter rotors on.

Definatly upgrade to a hydralic rear will the best yoiu can do with a nice sized rotor like 180+ the bigger the more power

How low is low? I have an 08 gu-st and my bars are 40" high. AJ

I will drop you a message next time we go, I live next to clacton so can ride whenever

Its sounding a bit hit and miss whether its worth me getting some

A few of us are riding clacton tomorrow, meeting at the skatepark at 1030, and heading off from there, riding the rocks and seafront, warming up at the skatepark first. Feel free to join us. AJ

How good are these in comparison to the hope trials rotor for the front and rear of a mod as I'm looking to save weight? Cheers AJ

how do you bleed them with the bleed port then?
