Just doing a brake swap round and it was cheaper to get a 210mm front rotor and adaptor rather than a 200mm, so I did.
I wasn't expecting much of a difference, but by 'eck a 210mm rotor looks mahoosive!
😀
Sorry, thought the Mrs had been posting about me again.
Is it still within the forks recommended disc size limits?
You'll be doing endo's all day ;O)
Bigger disc works wonders!
I do like powerful brakes. I had Juicy 3SLs (OEM on a Pitch Pro) on before (200/180) and they were pretty good too, but I had some Magura Louises sitting idle (Which are simply superb), so I sold the Juicys on the classifides, and with the money got the 210mm rotor, adaptors to fit that and the exiting 180mm front on the rear, and a new rear hose (Long bike!)
I've only ever used the Maguras with 180/160mm rotors and they are more powerful then Shimano XTs with 200/180s on them. This should be mental!
😀
I can't remember the exact setup but i had a set of boxxers once and needed to run an adaptor for a brake which took it from 203mm to 223mm and jeepers that was huge and powerfull 🙂
