For normal UK XC, southern England (no extended Alpine style descents)? Light is good. The Hope Sawtooth and Floating seem overkill and a bit heavy for the purpose.

I have 180mm on front and 160mm on rear.

(Worth dropping the front to 160mm, or the rear to 140mm? Is there an adaptor for that?)

Ta.

I’ve got some 160/140 Aligator windcutter rotors, £20 for the pair if you’re interested. Used them with my minis to save some weight. Needs Hope ‘A’ addapters front + rear for IS forks, or no addapter for post mount forks. Might have some addapters too if you need them.

I just use whatevers available,my current brakes consist of old deore hydraulics with goodridge hoses,xtr centrelock rear disc and a Hayes 6 bolt front disc(cos I’m running a lefty fork at the moment)
