damn, wiggle's gone back to the new site
|
|
damn, thats not right
goto disk brakes
then there should be a thing called the EBC oversize kit, where you have 2 different size options
|
|
yh , but it has not got wavy rotors !!!
|
|
the link is for "Aztec Stainless Steel Wave Rotor - 184/180m" from wiggle
|
|
ok, but would that work with a booster adapter thingy ? i was looking at one from wooly hat shop
|
|
ok, so if you have 2 160 calipers with a +20 adaptop, do you want 2 180 wavy rotors?
can you re-write it saying what you have and what you want
or you have a back 160 with a wavy rotor, and you want to get your front to 180 but you want to have a wavy rotor to make them look the same?
|
|
any 180 rotors will/should work with a 160 caliper and +20 adaptor, else it wouldn't be 180;)
|
|
I can't see it being a problem.
Can't comment on the juicy 5s but I have used them on my hope mini with a hope 20mm adaptor from CRC 165mm to 185mm and they work fine, really improved the power and help to reduce the fade they suffered from.
All the adapter dose is move the caliper away from the fork to allow a larger rotor to fit, but it keeps the caliper in the same line as the rotor.

ok thanks alot for your help. whrere is the best place to get an adapter from and a wavey disc, that aztec one is a bit expensive !
|
|
could i use a hope mono mini disc with my brakes ? and use a hope mount adapter aswell ?
|
|
cheapest place I got my rotor from is £20

If you want a wave rotor unfortunately you have to pay for it, I think they are worth it as they look stunning!
hope +20mm adaptors from CRC are £17

hope this helps.

the new hope mono mini is not a wavey rotor.
only the hope old mini is wavey and they only come in 185mm, unless you want to pay hope to make a special one.
You might find a +25mm adapter.
|
|
ok, if i did not want a wavey rotor could i use the hope setup mount booster and disc ?
|
|
I hope I havent misunderstood what you want, but Wiggle do both Avid adaptors and 185mm 'Polygon' rotors just like the original 160mm ones you presumably have. Look under 'brake - spares'. The discs are listed as for the 7 brake but they are the same as for the 5.
|
|
thanks for that
infact i need to change mount from 160 - 180, i realy want a wavey rotor as they look the dogs nads. would any adapter do and how do i know if the rotor will fit the caliper....
thanks a bunch rick ( excuse the name)

OK
as long as you use INTL STD fittings (look at hope calipers) then the Wooly Hat and the Hope adapters should work.
As for the hope mono mini disc, you will have to measure your pad depth and make sure it is no more than 15mm as this is the depth of a mono mini breaking surface. If your pads are deeper then 15mm then the pad will hit the rotor arms.
I have used a 180 Mono Mini disc with a hope +20 on a Deore 160 caliper and it worked OK. But have not tried it on any Avid Disc Breaks!
|
|
so i need to measuer the actual size of the pad bit on the pads, and if its no more than 15mm it will be ok ?
|
|
 Anychance, I could get a adapter to increase for a Manitou Fork ?? Deore Brakes, I'll do the rear soon.
It looks like longer bolts, and some rods, cut to the right lengths will work, though LOL
I guess, 10mm Rods.
