I thought the same as you aswell actually in that more metal equals more contact which equals more stopping power. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/disc-brake-rotors#post-2290775 Thu, 17 Feb 2011 08:18:07 +0000 cynic-al 2290775@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>rusting adding weight LOLs <img src="http://singletrackworld.com/forum/my-plugins/bbcode-buttons/default/icon_biggrin.gif" title=":D" class="bb_smilies" alt=""/> </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/disc-brake-rotors#post-2290685 Thu, 17 Feb 2011 01:41:01 +0000 dirtbiker100 2290685@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>I bought the flame rotors and after 6 months or so (bought them at bikeradar live) I've now bought new rotors.<br /> I thought the pads were contaminated but then for other reasons I put a friend's hope floating rotor on instead of the flame rotor. HUGE difference. Same pads, just different rotors and I was astounded. They were both ~200mm variants but the power from the hope made the flame rotor feel like a 180 or less. I feel this is down to the amount of pad contact and so I've gone for a rotor with more metal in it. Doesn't look so good and is heavier but stops me waaaay quicker.<br /> Just something to think about.</p> <p>P.S. For Sale - 1 x 203 flame rotor. £5. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/disc-brake-rotors#post-2290593 Thu, 17 Feb 2011 00:42:33 +0000 RAGGATIP 2290593@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>Hey nice one! They are cheap. Might get a pair of those flame style ones after I've searched for reviews. Would prefer it if they didn't rust as that would add weight. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/disc-brake-rotors#post-2290548 Thu, 17 Feb 2011 00:23:41 +0000 midlifecrashes 2290548@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>Superstar components sell rotors for cheapness, I haven't tried them but others on here have reported good things before. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/disc-brake-rotors#post-2290526 Thu, 17 Feb 2011 00:16:03 +0000 RAGGATIP 2290526@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>OK cheers Skids. So those 160mm and 180mm options for the Clarks are too large? Basically they are 6.30 inches and 7.09 inches respectively. I don't really want to spend too much as these are a for a spare set of wheels which will have slicks on for commuting to work. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/disc-brake-rotors#post-2290511 Thu, 17 Feb 2011 00:10:44 +0000 skidsareforkids 2290511@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>That'll be 6" and 7" in old money... You can get away with a couple of mm smaller ok, but wouldn't go much more... If you get slightly bigger rotors, you can shim between the caliper and mounts. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/disc-brake-rotors#post-2290510 Thu, 17 Feb 2011 00:10:42 +0000 RAGGATIP 2290510@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>I want to avoid getting post mounts and am hoping they are standard sizes. To be honest I haven't measured them. Just got the sizes off <a href="http://www2.giant-bicycles.com/en-gb/bikes/mountain/161/15044/?collections_id=2">here</a> as it's the same bike. I take it I should measure the outside diameter to get the exact size </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/disc-brake-rotors#post-2290505 Thu, 17 Feb 2011 00:09:02 +0000 cullen-bay 2290505@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>CRC are doing hayes official V6/V8 rotors for 50% off atm! </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/disc-brake-rotors#post-2290449 Wed, 16 Feb 2011 23:49:57 +0000 steveh 2290449@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>How have you got those sizes you mention? Rotors are normally standard sizes 160, 180 etc etc and I've not heard of either of those.</p> <p>If they really are the sizes then all the hayes I know are post mount so you could get some new adaptors and 2 sets of rotors. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/disc-brake-rotors#post-2290420 Wed, 16 Feb 2011 23:44:24 +0000 RAGGATIP 2290420@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>Hi all,</p> <p>I have Hayes HFX 9 178mm / 152mm rotors on my giant. I want to get some rotors for a spare set of wheels and was looking at these <a href="http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=47541">Clarks Light weight rotor</a> but the sizes aren't the same. Problem is I can't find any rotors that exact size. Can anyone help please? </p>
