Will this rotor work with my Avid Juicy 3s?

[travisza]

1. Yes I know the Avids are k&k

2. My front rotor is a bit warped and produces a noise which drives me nuts

3. Will the Shimano rotor SM-RT66 6 bolt rotor per CWC site work? It looks pretty standard so I would think so

Ja no problem

[Hennie VR]

Yes you can. As long as they are the same diameter/size.

So you can use any rotor, provided its the same diameter and number of bolts, on any brake system?

Pretty much.

Pretty much.

 

Thanks, now i learned something new for the day.

Yes. You can use a bigger rotor as well but then you will need a different adaptor for your calliper. Also check if the disc is a centre locking disc or 6 bolt.

As far as I know you get the following rotor sizes:

140,160,170,180 and 200mm

 

The bigger sizes are more common among the DH and Freeride bikes. Smaller sizes are common among rear brakes where frame space might be a factor. But if you stay with the same size rotor you should not have any problems.

 

If you find that the disc does not fit between the brake pads then you need to separate them by pushing them apart gently. Fit the wheel and then pump the brake lever a few times. That should sort you out.

Don't you need to add on one chain link if you put on a bigger rotor? for the rear derailleur will have more tension on if you ride big front and back?

HUH!?

You're not doing anything to the drivetrain, it does not get altered in any way.

Thanks all.

 

Except potter...not sure what you're on about there bud?

Hehe. Maybe you're thinking about Rotor Chain Blades. If that is the case then yes you MIGHT need to add a link but that will depend on how much bigger you go. But then again you should never ride your bike on the big blade and big cog. That will put unnecessary strain on the chain.

Hehe..........rotors as in disc brakes. You are refering to chain rings
