Smaller rotor 2

Checked with a couple members and may have solved problem. I may have dual disc forks, hense smaller rotors. Mine was a larger single disc. Trying to get diameter of differant rotors. Mine is 11 and 11/16" across. What are some other ones?

are you attempting to mix and match a set of two different sized rotors?

I would think you would look to find one matched set of fork lowers and then a matched set of rotors and calipers to mount.... using 2 differing fork lowers and trying to make up for it with two different rotors and calipers and so on does not seem....correct.


If its what you want go for it, but i would suggest going for matched sets.

No, no mix and match. Bike has single disc. But caliper mounting holes are about 5/8 in lower than old fork mounting holes. Hence, using same caliper may need smaller rotor.

why not put a duel brake set up on the bike, it would stop better

I would like a dual set up but money is very tight and single set up would almost lock up front wheel. Need to work with what I have. Thanks...

I may be over thinking this, but how much breaking surface are you going to loose with a single smaller rotor, there must have been some reason they decided to use two smaller rotors rather than just add a second large rotor

I totally understand your thinking BSKZ. My stock set up worked great. Using the slightly smaller rotor should still stop as well I hope. Maybe later (if the rotor solves my problem) I can make it a dual system. Money is very, very tight right now so need to stick with current plan. I see quite often dual caliper set ups on ebay so when time shows up I can convert. Down the road I would also like to convert to rear disc. I know this is not hard to do either.
