those people running front discs, what diameter are your discs please?

Im looking at 155mm, but thinking that it might be nice to get up to the 190-200mm area

220mm blimey, so I was right to start thinking about 200mm area.

hmm off to have another measure up, need to check clearances twixt wheel rim and caliper etc to see how big I can go on the disc, at this rate Im going to have to take the disc off to get the caliper off LOL

thanks

hmm very nice, right oh, bin the 155mm ones, time to think big :)

they dont look as silly as I had thought, I dont have a front tyre on the rim yet, so a mocked up paper disc looked ridiculous, but with the tyre it will look very different
