that is with out a doubt the best comment i have ever seen on PB. MAJOR props to you sherbet.

anyways, i use 7 and 7 right now but my front brake is on it's way out and when it goes, it's going to be 7 rear and 8 front. yes, most of the time it's over kill but the few times it wasn't, i would have been seriously hurt if it wasn't there. not like i broke my leg, ow, like impailed on a log bleeding out on the trail. i like my over kill.

Like overkill? Well hot damn, take a look at the Risse Bigfoot fork. =D

nah, that's unnessisary overkill. (yeah, figure that out, i dare you.)

my levels of stupid randomness are unmatchable, you will learn eventually.

Thanks for all your replies! I recently switched from 8/8 to 8/6. I also noticed that having 8 at the rear is very responsive when braking, and therefore loosing your speed.

I run 8 in the front and 7 in the back on my fully then 6 and 6 on the HT. I could definatly get away with smaller rotors on the fully but I prefer the bigger ones not for the power but for increased modulation and they also don't heat up as quickly which is always a plus.

i always run 8 in the front and 6 in the back. there was an article in mountain biking action a few months back that said you will have the exact same stopping power with 8 6 as 8 8. just a thought for anybody out there insisting that they have to have their 8 inch rotor in the back. i believe that same article said heavier riders don't apply to this rule...but i could be wrong there.

I ride 8F8R, just because I got the 8 incher cheaper than I would've got a 6" rotor
