hi, as some of you will probably know from reading the forums im thinking of buillding a custom giant stp, i quite like the look of the Hayes Disc Brakes HFX-9 HD but the only rotor size ive seen is 8" and i was wondering if they would be too big or would they be ok?
thanks
thanks

Not sure - its a very big rotor for the rear of a bike, usually for DH bikes. I'd contact a Giant dealer or the importer (or wait for nick to post!)0

ok then lol, what size of rotors should i be looking for 6" ?0
-
I would stick with a standard 160mm disc for the rear, maybe 180 on front.0

ok
do you know if can i could get the Hayes HFX-9 HD's in that sizings ?? 0 -
Pretty sure its 8 inch only. Why not look at the HFX XC, some good deals on them, or the Deore? Deore is a superb brake!0

kk think im gona have a look at the decore 0

after having another look throught the brakes on CRC i think im going to go for the avid juicy carbons lol
thanks0 -
the hd is the same brake as the xc. the only difference is the rotor size. For an stp you need the hayes hfx xc brake.geo0
