I ran one on my X5 for the weekend. Lots of power that is fine on flat or mildly steep terrain but just way too much power for steep terrain. Very hard to modulate. It becomes on/off. I had issues with some very strange and extremely noticeable chatter with it also. I checked it after the first day and the bolts holding the caliper had worked loose. I tightened it and thought that was the problem but the next day the chatter was still there. Anyone experience this? Brakes are hayes HFX-9, hub is a WTB Speed Disc, koolstop pads.
I took it of after that weekend since it was too powerful and am curious about 185mm rotors. Just looking for a tiny bit more bite in the back. Maybe the 8" rotor + 2.5" tire would have worked better than the 2.2" tire I had back there.
