Ok, Decision time, do i go for a 203mm front disc? or 185mm front disc? I am about 12.5 stone fully kitted :p They r going to be used with a set of Juicy carbon as well.

What you reckon? i am going to be riding som alpine trails etc also.

oh it's a very light NRS they r going on too if that helps :p

185 for you lightweights should be fine

I use 180 M4s f&r for my freeride lite bike and I'm 16 stones

185 is 7" btw :-)

but 185'll do you methinks

185.

I use 160mm F+R, that does me fine.

i'm a fat knacker who has no probs with a 165, 185 will do you just fine and i'll be upgrading to the same when i change forks.

anyway 205 on an NRS would look silly, imo. :-)

righto :p thats a 185mm front and 165,, rear then. Now i just have to find out if the Juicy calliper is compatible with Mavic Crossmax SL (i heard they are not), otherwise i am going to have to sell the crossmax and build a slightly heavier CK wheelset :(

yeh thats the exact review i read sprok!!!

The man at FIsher the main distributer here in the UK of Avid stuff says he hasnt heard of this prob and will investigate for me.

Stay tuned!

i've heard u can fix the prob with micro spacers on the disc to bring it out a bit.

Gonna be annoyed if they dont fit out of the box though!! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

I ride hayes, I started with two 6", I went to 8" front and 6" rear, I'm now on 8" front and 7" rear and it's the best combination.
I think, I might try 7" front and 6" rear.
All V-cut hayes rotors btw.

I'm going Avid Juicy carbon, they are all ordered :p

as your going juicy 185 rather than 160 i'd have thaught the extra clearance on spokes due to the caliper sitting further out from the hub centre ..

going 185 front 165 rear. Waiting for a response from Fisher with regards to the clearance issue. Dunno if it's been solved on the '06 range and/or on the Carbons.

if not, try 185 f&r

i guess..........but it looks like there is loads of clearance betwen the mounts on the wheels and the mounts on the fork and frame.

Cant see how it wont fit...

"Spokes Are Set Wide & Can Contact Avid Brake Calipers"

"We did, however, have a compatibility issue with our Avid Juicy Seven Disc Brake caliper just barely contacting the spokes of our front wheel. Although the wheels were designed before the Juicy Sevens, we don't recommend running this combination."

i agree with K2 - the compatability issues in the review was with a 160 rotor, so the 185 setup should, in theory, be clearance free.

I run 185 C2's and Julies without any real problems, 16.5stone kitted out with heavy bikes, so 185 is perfect maybe a tad of over kill but naught wrong with that.

Allowing for the clearance issues though, 200 would improve your odds on no contact.

If it's a 6bolt Disk you'll get away with 0.5mm's area of washers, if thats enough ??

:p apparently washers will fix it. I just have to wait for the fisher rep to get back to me. HE's finding out what issues there are witht he '06 range.

Once he confirms either way, then i'll start thinking about a solution or another brake.
