Does anyone know if the back end of a DOC will accept an avid 185 rotor? I might need to swap my brakes around and didnt want to get into doing that unless it will fit...

In other words im lazy... Anyone?

sure it ll work... i have a 185 mm hope rotor on the rear of my DOC (can t recall the caliper # tho)... assuming you have the correct avid adaptor it ll be fine...

Are you pullin' a Bearclaw, or is this your trail/FR bike?

'Cause 185mm rotors+Street/DJ=Ugly and you hit your rotor on stuff

im pulling a bearclaw, honestly i have a 185 on my xc bike, but i want to put a regular 160 on there for the summer...My "park bike" is getting converted to a more dj and freeride build for the summer...

I have never run the combo myself, but because of the bolt-on drops and the fact that the tubes have to bend out a little clear them, I think that you will be OK. just measure from the edge of your current rotor forward be 13mm and if you have clearance with the tubes you should be OK.
