Hi,

Do any of you use larger rotors for your disc brakes (180-203mm)? It seems there is no way for me to contact Giant about my bike (OCR Touring 2003) - there doesn't seem to be an email contact on their site. How can I know the max usable rotor size?

Can I use a Shimano centre-lock rotor with an avid disc brake system?


Thanks in advance

Most disc rotors are compatible as long as the outside diameter is the same.

I have 8" rotors on my mountain bike, but don't know the compatibility with Giant. Sorry!
