Hello Guys and Girls,

I was wondering if you can help and answer my question?

I am curently running Hayes 9 HFX Brakes with 203mm Rotors/Discs.
I just got a pair of new Formula TheOne Brakes.

Now I was wondering:

Can I use the same old Discs (Hayes 203mm) or do I need new ones?

Go for it. As long as they are in good shape why not.

Sure. The only reasons to replace them are if they don't fit, or if they're warped/bent/mangled.

Or of course if the pad contact area doesn't line up well.

There's only one way to find out.

Make sure to pull the rotors off the bike first, and then hit them with some sandpaper to give you a fresh surface to match your new brake pads.
