*BOOTHY* Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 Hi I ride with a 180 on my mod and it is really powerful but 160 is plenty powerful. Check what size your mount can take on your forks.Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaRtZ Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 Check what size your mount can take on your forks.Afraid i dont follow. With any set of modern trials forks they come with Internation standard (IS) mount on them meaning that its the same size regardless. When you buy a bigger rotor, the caliper and shizzle is the same, you just get a conversion adapter to move the caliper into its new place As for the size I've got a 203mm avid bb7 and its perfect. Im pretty sure a 160mm will do a similar job but obviously 180 will probs give you that extra confidence in your brake. Also if you ride alot of natural, (or street for that matter) you got to bare in mind a bigger rotor will get in the way sometimes........Hope that helped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeymoped Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 a bigger rotor generally means better and more responsive braking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 180...my 160 had great modulation but you really had to pull it to get your rear wheel up high enough to get a decent switch in180 gives good lock and modulationmy 203 was f**king insane not much modulation but for just raw power was f**king awsome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
