185mm v 180mm rotors

jeffers696

Hi,

Im looking for a replacement rotor, but cant seam to find a lot of 185mm rotors, only the Avid G3. Can i use a 180mm will the 5mmm make a big difference?

Does any body know of any 185mm rotors?

Cheers Paul

What is the current rotor. If it is 185 then that is what you need unless you get a new adaptor

ye the current one is 185mm

the pad will overlap the edge of the rotor.

change the adaptor to a 180 one.

Change the adaptor or you will only be using half the pad surface, meaning you will lose loads of power and will have to change the pads if you find the right rotor later on.
