The Lefty can take up to a 203mm I think...
Rotor size advice
hi folks,
I have an '09 Scalpel 1 with lefty carbon speed 110 fork. My team are off to a training camp in the Pyrenees and I want to beef the brakes up. The standard 160mm rotor is a bit underpowered for serious mountain riding. Can anyone tell me what the biggest rotor size is that can be safely used with the Carbon Lefty? Is there any danger of damaging the fork?

For what it's worth
My 29er shipped with a 180mm.

it can take a 203 but you need the newer style boot with the tapered end. with the old style, under full compression the rotor will eat the boot

Locutus is right but if you tighten your boot from "top" to little bit higher than normally, it's safe.Locutus said:it can take a 203 but you need the newer style boot with the tapered end. with the old style, under full compression the rotor will eat the boot
