Bear in mind that I'm 90+ kg but I'm also riding around with a loaded bike (touring, racing, etc) so system weight is more likely well over 100kg.
Were the brakes you used actually bedded in? Disc brakes don't work if the rotors are fresh, they need some hard stops to work properly.
I'd check the frame and fork can actually take bigger rotors before thinking that will solve things. Are there actually adapters for flat mount that will do bigger than 160mm?
hippy-
The rotors weren't changed in the service, and the pads were disintegrating! I can’t at all remember what they were, I think two people’s names, not a brand I’d heard of.
I think you can get the right adaptors (hopefully for less £ than that is I go that route) and that site is the first I’ve found that suggests I’m not entirely crazy
t.o.
Big statement but bigger [/fatter] than you 🤗
6’6” and 124kg at last count, ideal weight is normally 110-112kg.
I had it serviced and he put shit pads on, which I accepted because I didn’t know better. First proper downhill they stopped doing anything much at all which was terrifying, I stopped by wearing down my heels on the tarmac.
Took it to another shop immediately who replaced the pads with shimano, checked the fluid, and gave it a once over and they’ve been ok ever since, but I got discs because I wanted them to be good not ok.
I am more at the doing 80kph and wanting to stop asap end than the dragging the brakes end.
