So if you don't have that level of caliper, why not just buy the better caliper and stick with 160mm? If you are going from a 180mm disc to a 203mm, or 160mm to 180mm, use part number 12470….

Braking power alright, but roasting the rotor a bit almost anytime above 20mph (a lot). M615's and xt's calipers are exactly the same except xt's have a ceramic piston, opposed to a metal one. I like the shape of the non ice new rotors but reckon the full on fins and alloy sandwich is overkill for singletrack.

If the rotor needs to be pulled out away from the bike place one hand at the top of the tire to hold the bike in place and use two or three fingers to gently pull at the. Our 180mm review rotors weigh in at around 134g each. 36 disk brake rotors for sale as job lot.

In our experience, the weight saving benefits of a floating rotor are pretty hard to notice over any sort of terrain. They work great with the shimano brakes and i never sense any fade. They work brilliantly and feel nicer.

Following a post earlier i’m looking at getting a set of shimano slx disc brakes as an xmas pressie to me from my family and i. Keep in mind that if your current rotors are 160mm, you will need some adapters to fit the 180mm ones. Ice tech technology will not have any effect in trials riding, no high temps are reached.
