Hi
I have a Saracen Mantra 1 and i was going to upgrade the brakes to Hayes Stroker Trail 203mm. I was wondering if my bike would cope with that size of rotor? I see no reason for it not to.
thanks
:)

    get the brakes but keep your current rotor size, you wont want the 203 size with the new brakes.

    Have to agree with Nick here. I got the 203mm by accident and it's overkill for the UK for anything but DH.
    Stops on a dime admittedly,but so does the 180.
    Get the 203 and you're adding weight you don't need.

    Check the warranty for your forks btw,I had to ask Nick because I couldn't find anything.
