I've taken the plunge and ordered a 456 ti. Please can you ti owners post some pics of yours for build ideas.

Also, what max size rotor can I use?

203mm if you really want to, but never needed more than a 160mm and tbh when I lived down south, 140mm was fine.

Thanks for the info on rotor size, I've got a 183mm that I can use.

Nice bike Jonny, is that a 16" or 18"? I've got 2x10 that I'm thinking of transferring, are you 1x10 or 1x11??

how do you find the 120 fork for you on the 456?

Just right, I did ride it with some dp rev's, but found the 120 setting better, so that's why I put the 120 dt's on
Rotor size I'm on 160 front and back ice tech with finned pads and find them superb
It's a 16" (I' m 5'8") and 1x10

ive got dts on mine 150Exm and i wouldnt have thought to reduce it to 120 on the 456, i might try some 120s and see how i get on,
i run 203 on the front and 160s on the back, but i way 220 with all my kit on
