so on my bike I have 6" rotors and i always liked the look and feel of 8" i understand they have more braking power and take longer to heat up so you can use them longer and not get brake fade. what I am trying to figure out is, is it worth it to get 8" rotors or should I just stick with my current mechanical brakes or buy something new, like bb7's and have 8" with those. my current brakes are hayes mec. idk what model or anything. when I first got the bike the back brake was good! but when I got home. (it was rubbing a lot because the rotor was bent so I messed with the brakes and screwed it up. But I was able to get the rotor back to straight) I have been tinkering with them every night and I thing i need to clean the pads and rotors.
So in other words what are your guy's opinion on 6in vs. 8in, what do you recommend, stuff like that.
