Is he only running 7" rotors back and front?

HUMMERTM (Dec 15, 2008 at 11:18)

yh i dont get that atleast 180mm at the front but i suppose it's all pointless

racers have no need for 8 in rotors. You cut weight by running 6 and 7 inch rotors. I ran 6's front and rear until I got my heavy dh bike. Now it doesn't matter.

Plus your not going for an all day ride... your doing one run as fast as you can so having extra rotor size is meaningless.

btw that's why you see most of the top pros running smaller rotors. They shave grams any way they can. Rotor weight just adds to what they are trying to cut out to begin with. NTM the point in not using your breaks as much as possible will make you faster. I rarely ride or slam on my breaks in a dh run. I prefer to just pin it and pivot into turns going too fast than slamming my breaks and losing precious seconds. That's what good tires are for.

Maxxis wet scream in the Nevada desert? -----I think there is a contradiction---

HUMMERTM (Dec 16, 2008 at 8:01)

weight past 50% of the wheels innerds is rolling weight which means that a big enough disc at
the front counts itself out in terms of weight because of the rolling speed bet you didnt know that mr paragraphs Razz

HUMMERTM (Dec 16, 2008 at 8:02)

but truthfully unlesss your a hucker or steve peat theres no need for it

jptothetree (Dec 16, 2008 at 8:17)

and the top racers use there brakes way less than the average joe on a steep dh run Razz

HarryIsGod (Dec 20, 2008 at 4:43)

why are you all arguing about rotor size? who cares what size they are.

jammyboy366 (Feb 5, 2009 at 9:33)

Size doesnt matter, its what you do with it that counts Wink

HUMMERTM (Feb 5, 2009 at 13:35)

that only works if you got a small dick Razz

jammyboy366 (Feb 5, 2009 at 13:37)

ahhh 2010 boXXers ahhh

me-likey-DH (Dec 11, 2008 at 18:48)

true that!!

samuelthecamel (Dec 15, 2008 at 4:39)

isnt that the boxxer blackbox? i dont think its the 2010, it doesnt have any writing on the stanchion...

Scott7089 (Dec 15, 2008 at 10:47)

it is the blackbox boxxer not the 2010

killerbikeman (Dec 15, 2008 at 11:06)

woops sry

pyromaniacman129 (Dec 15, 2008 at 14:18)

yea its the blackbox, i rode it when he had it at northstar. its amazing.

rffr (Dec 15, 2008 at 17:00)

Why would a pro rider have to have the marks a consumer level fork has. I bet he has the 2010 internals in those forks even without the 35mm stanctions.

pyromaniacman129 (Dec 15, 2008 at 21:16)

those are 35mm stanchions.

Scott7089 (Dec 18, 2008 at 15:17)

naw not even close, those aren't 35mm stanchions

me-likey-DH (Dec 18, 2008 at 16:24)

those are 35s and if they werent, they would be 32s which ARE close to 35s

me-likey-DH (Dec 18, 2008 at 16:28)

the seat post is about 31mm and the stanchions are much bigger

Scott7089 (Dec 18, 2008 at 17:35)

there definetly 32s... and the seatpost is not 31 mm

Scott7089 (Dec 18, 2008 at 17:38)

Oh and t3h1337r y would he run 2010 boxxer internals on his bike when he can get blackbox which powns all

pyromaniacman129 (Dec 18, 2008 at 19:04)

all i know, is i felt it in person, and it Sh!t all over any other boxxer

Scott7089 (Dec 18, 2008 at 19:36)

Word

me-likey-DH (Dec 19, 2008 at 0:40)

look it up on santa cruz bikes

me-likey-DH (Dec 19, 2008 at 0:45)

and those are boxxers, black box is just the technology and racing program used to test them!

YukonEnduroOLLY (Dec 15, 2008 at 5:26)

is there a reason why santa cruz are putting smaller rotors on there dh bikes?

rffr (Dec 15, 2008 at 17:01)

It's FOR RACING ONLY. Read my post above. I'm surprised more people haven't heard of running smaller rotors for racing purposes.

rffr (Dec 15, 2008 at 17:02)

BTW what makes you think that their production bikes being sold to the public would have them. This is a pro's bike setup for the pro racer. There is a bunch of stuff on the bike that the normal person buying it wouldn't get. Everything from suspension internals to frame geometry and design. Factory riders bikes are all custom made to their specs. Including welding up the frame differently just for that rider.
