My polo bike has for the last four months had a 160mm rotor on the front... Now I look closly there's about enough room for 2cm more rotor! Might explain the disappointing stopping power I've had with the bb7! But actually there's a fair amount of pad contact so it's not dangerous, just lot less than optimal.
Figured it was better to get a bigger rotor than different adapter, but if there's any advantage of 160 over 180 I'd like to hear it (other than tiny bit of weight saving)? I assume 180 for better stopping power?
@moog I got a dremil clone off eBay for £20 from China, you can borrow it if you want... If you want to pick it up from polo?
