Shimano for 203mm rotors, if you gonna set new 203mm rotors.
I've swap my Sram R for Saint + MDR-P rotors 220 front and 200 rear.
There's no need in new rotors, of course!
I though you want new ones!
Just swapped a ZEE onto the back of the kenevo from the code r. Straight swap . No problems with existing mounts or rotors.
The SRAM rotors still scream when wet, but don't seem to have reduced braking like the codes.
Love the Zee. Need to do the front and maybe upgrade to 220 SRAM rotors or Shimano s to stop the squeal.
SRAM has always had issues with brakes. The sooner you get rid of them, the sooner you stop confidently.
Let's start with a few really bad ones.
The dreaded turkey gobble that spawned more threads than the must luxurious sheets.
The "new" hydro road disk brakes that had to be recalled.
Sure, shimano has a few issues here and there, but at least you could stop when it was cold. SRAM brakes use DOT fluid. DOT fluid is hygroscopic (absorbs moisture). What happens to water below 32 F, 0 C ???? yeah, crystalized fluid.
Hey There,I swapped out the SRAM brakes for Zee's and Ice tech rotors and wow what a difference! Love the feel and they work much better for me. You do need new adapters for the 203 mm rotors but they are pretty straight forward to find. View attachment 27351
Hey There,
I just ordered some Saints with 203 ice rotors for my Decoy and have 2 questions for you?
1) You say you needed new adapters? Could you just add an extra spacer on the bolt to make up the extra 3mm?
2) How difficult was it to install the rear brake? Any steps/tips would help.
Thanks

Thanks!1. This is the proper adapter. Yes, you could easily fudge it with adapters
2. For the rear, drop the battery. Pay attention to how the existing brake line is routed and be sure to follow the same pattern. You'll need to install it without a fitting so make sure you have an insert an olive

Ya you are right...If you are going ice tech just get the correct adapter.. you already spent the $$ on brakes and rotors why cheese out on adapters
I don’t think there is any reason to bother with getting a new adapter. Your brakes should come with various spacers/washers you can use to get it aligned. Not very hard to add 3mm of spacing.
I have level ts on my norco sight v l t and they are terrible iv got guide r on my normal trail bike and they are perfect.You're talking absolute shite mate.
