Custom Brakes

Changing rotors, you need same thickness, same sweep (ie braking radial depth). You will also need an adaptor to increase the spacing so you can get the rotor in. Also make sure your forks are warrantied for 203mm rotors.

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

Your forks will not take 205mm discs! Use 160mm front and rear.

Your frame and fork do have mounts. Disc hubs start relatively cheaply with shimano deore, but you will need your wheels rebuilt onto them, and probably new spokes if the hub isn't identical to your old one. Check CRC for hubs. As for brakes stick to 160mm front and rear for xc use, possibly 185 front if you insist, but make sure your forks are warranted for this.

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

if you get disks 185 on the front and 160 on the back is all you'll need

Theres really no point in getting 203mm rotors for your HT. A mate of mine uses 185mm rotors on his DH/FR machine. You'll be fine.

As soon as you get those disk hubs anyway...

Your bike reminds me of a Praying Mantis.

I brake for Scholars, Priests and no apparent reason.

I'd disagree, I think an 8" is good for the front on a hardtail if it'd being used for DH or FR with long travel forks.

Obviously 8" is stupid for XC use though.
