I'm considering this one, but only because I don't like the unsightly huge things that you can get.

It's pretty small though, so I'm not sure if it'll provide the amount of coverage that you're after.
Shame Canyon don't fit a cool...
No, that's the point, they don't. (At least, not until brake fade becomes a factor.) You're misundersranding what I mean by "if the brakes have the power to lock the wheels". I'm not saying that's how you'd be braking in the comparison, nor that locking the wheels is desirable. The point is...
Jesus! Don't throw that at me on a Saturday! 🤣🤣🤣
Yes, you can get very into detail with a million different variables and it's all very complex. I'm only simplifying it because my argument is simple. I'm not arguing that larger rotors are inferior or that heat fade doesn't exist or that...
Well obviously. Locking the wheel is not the objective.
The rest isn't really relevant and would apply to either brake, and the last bit I have no idea what you're on about. The brake just lost all power and stopped working, but wasn't heat soak? So what do you suppose it was that was suddenly...
Interesting. What's the difference between auto and trail then? I thought trail and EMTB were "reactive" modes anyway?
One other quick question Rob, as I noticed you have a Fox QR up front, when you set it up and tighten the bolt on the floating axle, does the QR have to be open or closed...
Agreed 100%. (I'm sure I've even made this point myself at some point in the thread.)
If the default brakes are incapable of locking the wheels, then sure, more powerful ones will stop you in a shorter distance, so the additional leverage from a larger rotor would achieve this.
However, if...
Seems so. I think it has run it's course.
Opinions don't really come into it, as it's a straight facts/physics-based argument, but I get that some people aren't prepared to change their mind from their preconceived misconceptions, so let them believe whatever they want. You can lead a horse to...
@irie That's the point though. I don't necessarily disagree with what points people are making. Yes, larger rotors resist heat fade better. But people are confusing that with meaning that the brakes stop you in a shorter distance. You can't argue my point with a completely different point...
Great, lovely argument, but again completely irrelevant to the argument being made here.
Saying you're having your own argument has no relevance to the point I'm talking about.
Also, your last point is incorrect. Cars would be crashing all over the place if they heat soaked after a single...
Less effort does not equal more control though, it's actually the opposite.
Adding power makes it easier to accidentally lock the wheel, I.E. less control.
Less fatigue is right though - the additional leverage of a larger disc means less pressure is required at the lever to slow the same...
Yeah, this has been extensively covered. I've made it very clear throughout the whole thread that the main purpose of larger discs is heat dissipation. That is THE benefit of larger rotors and the correct reason to fit them.
