255mm monster brakes

I've never seen one but it certainly makes the concept of a disc brake and a sprocket much more feasable. With the smaller 203 rotor it was nearly impossible to get full pad contact and have caliper to chain clearance with anything bigger than a 32T or smaller sprocket.

Thanks for the link, Rudz, I might have to order this and give it a try. Disc front and rear has always been something I want.

The front should be no problem. You might have to fabricate a caliper bracket but that's no biggie. It's the rear that will be a challenge for the reason given above.

Let us know how things work out.

The rotors kept the heat down from high speed braking. But I don't run that fast anymore, so I went back to the 203mm. Whenever I find some proper dual front hydraulic calipers, I'll switch back the 255mm for the OMG factor.

This is what it looks like on the front.

Hi, I bought rear kit for my stingray chopper but it did not fit I have to grind the caliper adapter a lot but still the pads are only 3/4 contact to the rotor. Can you give me a tip? I think I can make fit if I will grind it more but there would be no thread left on the caliper
 
There's a number of different size adapters available at any bike shop, they're usually only a coupla bucks or so... perhaps there's one that's a closer fit?
