it looks like the guide re is an exception to the guide lineup.

Cheers buddy,yes I’ve already replaced mine with shorter m6x18mm capheads without the cps washers?View attachment 23911
btw, you guys should not be using the cps washers. double check the pad alignment.
older avid brakes required cps, guides and new codes are standard post mount.

I have a 2020 Kenevo and want the 220 rotor. I am confused by the posts thus far. Can anyone tell me what adapter I would need to run this on my Boxxer Select?
I was told by Worldwide Cycle in the US that a standard Sram 10mm adapter would do the trick. I would really appreciate if anyone here could either confirm our deny this!Did you manage to find the right adapter here? I’m searching myself
I went 220 front and 200 rear see how it goes and see if the rear needs 220
I would say no way for 220mm rotor on back wheel, I am 85kg and even thinking installing 180mm rotor on rear as it is too easy to skid even with 200mm rotor (at least now when I upgraded to Code RSC brakes) ...Just bought a pair of the Magura mounts and two 220mm rotors from BikeDiscount.de for £80 delivered for my Code RSC stoppers. I know 220mm on the rear is overkill but as a heavy rider on a heavy bike I figured what the hell.

Interesting given that firstly a lot of the DH riders are now using them, as are EWS teams, plus we are seeing big rotors specced OEM on more bikes these days.Silverfish UK have been in touch after I asked about my Fox 34 options and their response was that none of their forks, including the Fox 40's, support rotors bigger than 203mm.
Nothing's actually changed on the lower castings or bushing ovelap though.So regarding larger rotors everyting tested/designed would only really have been in regard to standard 8" rotors available at the time of design etc.Interesting given that firstly a lot of the DH riders are now using them, as are EWS teams, plus we are seeing big rotors specced OEM on more bikes these days.
More info here, including an adapter .Hi guys,
Can you tell me would this PAUL Disc Brake Adapter for 200 mm Rotors
work with my SRAM Code R brakes to convert to 220mm? It says "fork mount: standard international" and "caliper mount: post mount" and says the height is 40mm. I have Fox 36 in the front so it's already 180 without adapters.
I'm about to mount a220 on my Levo. I'm a little confused. Don't you need the beveled washers to properly align the pads to the rotor? The picture above shows no washers so there isn't a way to float the angle of the caliper before locking it in place? Is that no longer needed?I have a 2019 base Levo with stock fork - pic attached. From the way I am reading the thread, I should not need anything other than longer bolts as I have no cup washers or spacers or will the caliper hit the adaptor? Thx

Cool thanks! I was a little confused. I have 2 bikes one w 2017 Pike the other w 2020 yari. They both are set up different. One with CPS the other just little flat black washers. I just realized that they get different washer set ups as one is 180 rotor, the levo has a 200..... Both are running the same Guide caliper. Not REs.Depends on the calipers, if you have CPS caliper (for example Guide RE or old Code) you'll need cup washers, if you have standard caliper (for example new Code) you mount it without cup washers, see picture below. Normally they make PM on forks in a way that mounting surface is perpendicular to the wheel (and rotor) axis, if this for any reason is not the case and if you're mounting a standard caliper without cup washers then you may need to make corrections to the PM or PM adapter mounting surface using Disc Brake Mount Facing Set.
It looks like you didn’t need the cup and cone washers at all, and putting them on the outside of the mount is the reason you needed longer bolts.Here is my setup. It is working just fine but there is a chance that I have not installed it correctly. One pic shows the adapter I am using. Note that there is another type that just consists of spacers. The rounded head bolts came on the bike. The knurled bolts are the 30mm M6. The other pic shows that the 30mm bolt just fills the threads on the adapter. I only have the cupped washers on one side so 30mm works for me. With cupped washers on both sides 35mm may be correct but the spacing to the rotor may not be correct.. Since the bolts are lock tighted in I did not want to take things apart to measure the length of the original bolts.
Let me know if I have screwed something up.

What brand/model brakes do you have?I just converted my front rotor on my 2019 S-Works from 200mm to 220mm. It took some research to get the conversion right so I wanted to share what I did.
220mm Rotor: SRAM CenterLine 220mm 6-bolt Disc Rotor with Rounded Edge
40mm Adapter: Avid/SRAM Disc 40mm Post-Mount Adaptor, Fits 200mm Front and 180mm Rear Rotors
The adapter converts the 180mm post mount on the fork to 220mm. The bike came with a 20mm adapter for the standard 200mm. If your fork is a 180mm post mount then the 40mm adapter will be the right size for the 220mm rotor.
The adapter comes with the screws to mount the itself to the fork but does not include the screws to mount the caliper to the adapter. I measured carefully and bought some M6-1.00 30mm stainless steel hex head cap screws. The size was perfect. The adapter threads were completely filled with screw without any excess.
On my first ride today I spent much of my time getting the rotor bedded in. After that the brake felt great. The brake is noticeably stronger and the bike is more in control on very steep descents. I expect it to get a bit stronger as it continues to bed in.
Recommended!
Just SRAM brakes - powerful as anything but on or off.You aren’t heavy at 85kg, I have another ebike on you. Besides,, if you’re skidding involuntarily on a 200mm rotor it’s likely a control issue.
Haven't checked the thickness of the Shimano rotors but I expect they are 2mm. These 220 rotors might alleviate the SRAM Squeal.Yes, 200mm rotor is 1,8mm while 220mm rotor is 2,0mm ...
