140mm rotor on Evil DOC?

What are you trying to do just get a stronger rear brake?
If so you could just put on a front one.

I am going to go Elixir CR lever to old code caliper. I want clearance, more than a 160mm rotor. A 140mm rotor would dictate less braking just more clearance. One brake SS is how it'll be unless i decided to ride it slalom...
So i guess the initial question still stands, and if no one knows, I will just have to find our for myself.

If a 160 fits, there is no reason a 140 won't. The adapter for a 140 rear is the same as a 160 front I believe.
Duh.....I read 140 but was thinking 180.
Me's a retard.

!40mm rotors sucks balls. Don't do it. I burn my pads out after every time I hit a set of big dubs. Just use 160.
I've been running 140 with an Elixir for two years. Zero complaints. Do it.
You should build a berm that points you back in the right direction.
Either that or quit using cardboard brake pads.
but what I am trying to do is use it with a code caliper....
lol

once I get the DOC, I am going to do a build up I am going to try out some stuff on it (140mm rotor with codes dremel out the dropouts maybe), that I am not sure if it has or hasn't been built with before
I do not see why you cannot...the 2010 Speshy Demo8 and 2010 Mongoose Boot'r both have this config.
Well I am using a juicy 3. Does that mean I am doing it wrong? Because I has a elixer caliper I can rig up to it.
these bikes use a much different dropout system than the evils do..
nope... don't get your feelings hurt.
My build kit will be here right after thanksgiving, frame should be back from powdercoat round the same time, still haven't figured out a color for it.
this is the most confusing thread I have ever read...
Jarrod...I know you can get a 140mm mount (the road bb7 uses it)...Just source out that adapter (not sure if it is the same as a 160) your code will bolt right to it.

its not the mounting that I am worried about so much as the clearance of the caliper when mounted to the frame...
so the clearance of the caliper to the frame not so much whether or not the caliper can be bolted to the adapter...
confusing is fun...
I have three 140mm rotor coming
g2 g3 g3xx
to see which one has the best contact on the old code caliper, they are all slightly different.

Are you trying to say "I think the code caliper is going to have issues on a 4 inch rotor mount because that caliper is meant for a 7-8 inch rotor adapter." If so, then you should not worry. It should work.
