nafan Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 I've been thinking of getting a beasty looking Superlite v2 203mm rotor off ebay and a +40mm adaptor as my brake's not been working brilliantly recently, I feel that it'll work I just wondered what some of your views on it are, and if its worth £25 Cheers guys, Nathan :blink: :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrishayton Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 Hehe thanks guys, I'm sure they will I run Merlin forks which weigh a few tons, they'll handle it :- :) make sure yo get new pads though too, as yours could be contaminated. so yeh go 4 it but get new pads too :- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 If your pads are comtaninated you do not buy a new set if they have meat left on them, all you do it bake them in the oven or boil them in water.Getting a larger rotor makes more power but if more prone to being hit.I have recently bought a 180mm a2z superlight rotor off ebay and a +20mm adaptor for my hope mono trials and god does it work! :) Also you have to have a decent strong pair of forks otherwise it will rip the dick mount off them. I think that a 203mm rotor would rip the mounts off say the old urbans with the thinner disk mount than this years. Hope this help's clarky :- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF it still works crap with the new rotor buy some new pads or just clean them. clarky. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nafan Posted November 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 Saving up money at the mo so I'm gonna wait a bit before I buy the stuff anyways, but I'll probs boil my pads or something to clean them...
