    Whats it like with the 36 160's?
  • it's brilliant, the change in geometry is really noticeable on the way down, uphill talas takes care of it :D

    And it's stiff as hell, being a heavier rider i realy noticed the flex in the 150 32s, but here there is none.

    Seriously, with the 36 upgrade, the stiff whells and the shim mod of the rp2, this bike performs way better than the stock.

    At my weight the 203 rotor does come in handy, and no it does not lock up,except if you tear off the brake handle :mrgreen:
