Rotor sizing
Hey yall
I am putting a new shock on my ROckhopper 29 and am going to need an adaptor for my front rotor or a new rotor all together. Will dropping the size of my front rotor from 180 to 160 really make any difference I know that the back rotor is already a 160. Just curious of geometry here and trying to get a feel for average size of front rotors

The 160 is the most common size, and works for most applications. Both of my lowracers use 160mm rotors on the front.
