Looking at buying a set of these to go on a trek remedy and fox forks, im just a little confused at which options i need, fixed or floating rotors, and which bracket option i need, post mount etc?
Any help would be great, thanks ollie

    i've got these.

    to be honest, other than a marginal weight saving and alleged better heat dissapation, the only real benefit of floating rotors is that they look cool! They really do look ace.

    As for rotor size, i've gone for 203mm on the front and 185mm rear. I only weight 11st, but i find that the larger rotor on the front makes for easier single finger modulated braking, with heaps of power on tap if you need it.

    I also went for the braided hose option, and I'm not sure if it's placebo or not, but they do feel a bit sharper than the plain hose verisons i tested initially.

    Where do you plan to buy them from? Give Noah's Ark a call, they have them on special offer right now. Matt there should be able to tell you exactly what mounts will be required.

    Good choice though, i love them!
