Want more stopping power... Brakes currently fitted are Hayes Stroker Ryder, they are ok but just feel a bit less power when I need it :problem:, fitting the bigger rotor up front helped.

As for what ones I want ??????

I as you know i run 203mm rotors they give more stopping power, but i would like to add more adjustment and a lighter set of brakes. Tony bought the XT ones on merlin and they're a feck load lighter than the Avids.

I have some spare 203 rotor's centre lock though if anyone wants them,? only used them twice before i bought my nasty juddery clarks lightweight ones for my light wheels :roll:

LOL when i worked with other humans in the Cambridge office, if there was a package from the postie they me go to the door as they knew it would be for me, but then it made for awkward conversations at the christmas party when the wife got to meet everyone :o :oops:
Nowadays in the bunker no one knows what i'm up to or plotting MwahHa
HaHAAAAAAA
