1337 Trials Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 (edited) Helloo. Im currently building a stock up. My mod has a 160mm hope mono trials but I was thinking of using a 203mm avid juicy 5 on my stock. Would this rotor be to big? I would use my hope trials but I will be using my MTB wheel so I was thinking of leaving my rotor on the wheel so I can swap the wheels over if I was to ride MTB. (My MTB has the 203mm avid juicy 5) Overall do you think a 203mm rotor would be to big for a stock trials?

pogo Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 No, 203 rotors are very popular due to the increase in power over the smaller diameter options, easiest way to find out would be to start a poll enquiring about the size of disk people use.

lankyri Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 only had a 160 on my stock (when i ran disk) worked fine for me remember simpson had a 203 on his echo that was mean, so powerful was unreal bb7 btw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1337 Trials Posted March 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 Thanks for replys. Ile try the 203mm for now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 remember simpson had a 203 on his echoYea that was good, I have also used 203 rotors on mods which was a bit insane, I find that they offer so much power most of it is pretty "un-usable" because its just too sharp which can make it a pain in the ass, but with a juicy I think you find a 203 would be good, however on a BB7 180 would be idea=l.

JonMack Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 203 on a mod is completely OTT, 160 is fine, and if you don't think it's up to scratch, you need to set your brake up better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sstein Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Get a plus 40 adaptor for your hope and use that with the 203, It will be so much better than the avid! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1337 Trials Posted March 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Get a plus 40 adaptor for your hope and use that with the 203, It will be so much better than the avid! Oki budy Good idea.
