Just a heads up. My mate Dan who has the other Wilson in the country had a problem running a 203 on the rear. He kept getting a very unpleasant vibration from the rear. They tried pretty much everything but eventually he gave up and runs a 180 on the rear now.

 

And Devon is not a shitty mechanic. His Theory was the Carbon seat stay wasn't lekker.

I have heard that about the 2011 Alu wilsons with the carbon stays on Pink bike too

But they all say run a 180mm rear rotor and you are hundreds

 

I was going to run 180 anyway as thats what i used on the GT.
