I'd still give the 180's a shot though, if that's what you've got now. Can always upgrade later if they prove too weak; 200 mm will give you 10% extra leverage over 180. And then get a spare, for when you'll inevitably bend one

Thanks for the info, Daan.

I've always been fine on 180, even on a Hex with bigger wheels, and I weigh 91 kg.

I weigh 113kg...

Quite a bit of weight to stop.

Hey guys, first post!

I recently dropped on a 2019 Fourplay Team at a price that I simply couldn't pass on, sold my Flow that had MT7's to make space for the Fourplay and would like to know what the people who are running the Hope Trial Zones do to eek out all the performance? I bought some Jitsie pads from Tartybikes, and the rear brake is noticeably more grabby than before. The front is noticeably less grabby than the rear, and cleaning the discs with Fairy and boiling water plus boiling the pads on the hob in a pan helped to a degree. I think there is a slight bend in the disc as it rubs intermittently, could this cause a less "grabby" brake feel? 

Would also like to know what people who run the Hope v2 rotors at 200mm or 203mm think of the difference between those sizes and 180mm, and whether they are worth it?
