Video: Tips To Make Hot Weather Riding & Conditions Not Suck
My experience riding in PHX:
Bike setup: Make sure there is still sealant in tires - it dries up fast here in the 115 heat, and clean dirt off after each ride, esp. drivetrain and fork seals.
Body setup: Hydration is key, due to the dry heat you don't realize how much you're sweating. It's also hard to find shade on the trails here in Phoenix so staying cool we depend on long sleeve jerseys with plenty of ventilation and wet neck bandanas.

Transition Patrol Frame w/ Extras
$1200 USDSelling my 2017 Transition Patrol frame with Invisiframe, cranks, and headset included. It's been a super fun and reliable frame, but I recently acquired a carbon patrol frame so it's time for this one to move one to the next user! (seatpost not included)

Video: Syndicate Pit Gibberish - Why Would You Run a Smaller Rear Rotor?
Same reasons as with motorcyles and cars - weight transfer and forces needed to brake before traction breaks dictate the size of the brakes. I have never seen a car with the same size brakes front and rear, even on a front wheel drive car where engine braking wouldn't add to rear braking power. IMO smaller rotors cause less mass (especially unsprung mass), less rotational inertia, and more clearance for less impacts with objects - rocks, tree stumps, etc.
That being said, 203 rotors in back would perform better, like anything else, it's a trade-off.
