i have a specialized p all mountain and i have up graded the front brake to a hope m4 with a 180mm roter. i now want to upgrade the rear end also with a hope m4. it currently has a 160mm roter but i would like to put a 180mm on the same as the front. would this be possilble?
thanks!

try the front disk on the back wheel and see if it fouls anywhere, if not, use it!!!!0

You'll need to get an adapter that allows a 180mm rotor to be used. You attach the adapter to the frame, and the calliper to the adapter.
Something like this: http://www.merlincycles.co.uk/?fn=produ ... goryId=1100 -
You might want to see if your frame is rated for a 180mm rotor. I wanted to make the same upgrade but even if it had physically fitted my frame it would have put it out of warranty. I guess an all mountain frame would be fine with it but doesn't hurt to check - the info is probably on the manufacturers website0

i run a 203 on the back of my hardtail and it seems good i had to re space the cones with wasers tho but i doubt you will have to. if you do let me know as i developed a great technique after several hours of swearing and shouting at inanimate objecttsstephen hall0

203mm is totally unnecessary on the rear for everything short of dragging your rear brake all the way down the alps! How extreme is your freeriding stevie?0
