I'm guessing the Jr T at least has some thick/recessed dropouts?

In the beginning, I was a bit nervous running regular dropouts w/8" rotors and emailed Marzocchi about this. They responded that the 2004 Z1 FR series forks were all rated for a 8” rotors. I've had absolutly no problems over the 2 seasons & 2000+ off road miles with this setup. (Still keeping fingers crossed however...)

BTW: All of Marzocchi’s 2005 free ride forks come standard with 20mm though axles.

i have an eight inch rotor with regular dropouts on a REBA fork. no problems and i weigh 135 pounds

135? What do you need disc brakes for?

The Fox Vanilla is rated for an 8" rotor.

Well i know u guys going to call me a lame person for owning a RST Capa T4. But what to say, it came with my bike and buying a new suspension is very expensive in malaysia. A RockShox REBA will costs me RM1000

I have a Trek Bruiser 2 with an Mz-comp that has an 8 inch rotor in the front. No problems at all. I weigh 160 lbs. Did lots of downhill this summer too.

I beleive Fox 04 & older Talas & Vanilla were rated to a max 7" rotor. All 05 Fox and newer (except thier XC line) are rated for 8" rotors.

I wouldn't put an 8" rotor on that fork.

how to know wheter your suspension support 8 inch? If you cant find it in the website

I didn't make the switch to Fox until 2005, Previous to that my fork of choice was the Marzocchi Z1, with a rock shox psylo for a very short time in between them.

That fork is an entry level XC- ish 4" travel fork. You never see 8" rotors on forks like that for a reason.
How much do you weigh?

how to know wheter the suspension support 8 inch of rotor if you cant find it over the internet?

How to know? When the brake tabs, drop outs or stancions snap when you are flying down a hill, you will know....

Simply pain....lots and lots of pain hahaha

Its usually pretty obvious actually. Forks rated "xc" or "trail" forks will not support 8in without some risk. Fr and dh forks, usually good to go, all mountain would be the only confusing ranking, but really I would assume they would be fine. Pre 2002 these rules change a bit as the ratings were different and 20mm and 8in in general were not common.

If your fork looks like this, no worries. :D

ha ha....because they're way cool! :p :D

that stinks...mine was only 2hundred something at Jenson's

Well what to say malaysia currency is 4X of USA currency
