8" rotor on argyle?

randomize · June 2007

will the argyle forks take an 8" rotor?

BTR · June 2007

Depends.
QR, I wouldn't.
20mm, should be okay.
Depends what you're doing though.
I'm assuming that since they're argyles, you're a dirt jumper, and an 8" rotor for dirt jumping is overkill.

i would use QR and use them for light/moderate freeride stuff

Argyle only come in 20mm right?

I thought Argyles were 20mm only, so you wont be able to use QR?

Why would you want to put 200mm disks on?

Contact your local RS dealer, or try phoning CRC, but IIRC there is absolutely no mention of max rotor sizes in the manufacturers warranty, so you should be fine.

Always remember to pick your Uni according to the local trails or you'll be stuck with nowhere to ride for three years!

1. There are better forks for freeriding, Argyles are mainly DJ forks
2. 20mm is much better (if you can afford it/have a 20mm hub already)

Sometimes it overheats. You have to make sure it's in a ventilated place all the time.

there may be better forks for freeriding, fair point, but i want to match the 4" rear travel on a kona howler. I have QR hubs but can easily change the front one if needed. I ask about 8" as i want to put el camino brakes on and thought 8" was the standard size for them. but i may be wrong?

Argyles would be fine with 8" discs. Have you considered getting Pikes? Adjustable down to 95mm travel. Much better for freeriding.

Yeah, get some Pikes instead - much better suited to the riding your doing.

I'd only be wanting to put 180mm rotors on them. tbh unless your doing lots of huge jumps, or long downhills, anything over 180mm looks silly.

yeah i've considered pikes but dont really know the pro/cons of pike vs. argyle. i.e. which is strongest, lightest etc?

scgt · June 2007

pikes arelighter, argyles should be stronger. argyles are really only a jump fork, pike is much more freerids friendly

randomize · June 2007

also, though its not really related, what 20mm hub would be best to use with the pike/argyle. I currently have a wheelbuild consisting of dmr revolver hubs and singletrack rims. budget within reason ie. not chris king...

I'd say both are pretty strong, argyles probably having a bit more strength. Pikes are pretty light though.

You could look at Domains which are bombproof, but they're relatively heavy and min travel is 115mm.
