Lee_Buchanan Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 Reet,ive been told off at a few people that my mono trial will work bettr if i put the standard rotor on instead of the 185 rotor of my mini with the adapter,they said it will work better being that the wholes in the rotor are bigger??So which is going to be the best,also apperently will be less spongey and flexy without the adapter? Thought id post up and see what folk thought?? Lee................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watson© Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 I would just buy the 160mm as that gives you enough power as it is... its awesome!!! BUT if you want a bigger rotor why don't you buy the 180mm version with the same rotor as the 160mm instead of using the adapter... you can purchase it from tartybikes :- Watson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee_Buchanan Posted March 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 Ive already got the brake......................... Ive been running it with a 185 rotor as i persumed that would be better as its bigger.. lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben_travis Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 Sorry if this sounds harsh, but you already have the brake, so surely you will already have the standard rotor! so just try it and see what happens, a 185 theoretically should work better, when i rode tarts disc with a 180 rotor it was good, but i felt that my 160 worked just fine just try it and see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hardman Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 Stick with 160 ithink it offers enough stopping power a sit is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebor Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 Just wondering how the rotor worked with the system, I know you can get +20 adaptors, but surely the brake would be a little sketchy with a rotor that's 5mm too big? I say stick with the 160, people seem to be very happy with it, and you're on a mod so it should be fine (coming from someone that used to run a 205 on mod :)) I've only ever rode one Mono Trial, it was bedding in so it would explain why it felt a bit pants :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthewholdsworth Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 i reckon u should try the 160 for a bit, works awesome on mine and with ur bike being a 20 inch could be even better. one thing to note though is that the larger holes in the mono trial rotor reduce heat build up and stop the pads glazing over, this is important due to huge pad size in the mono trial. seemed to work fine with your 185 mini rotor in last wk though, try em both see which u like best :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
