Nope,rear brake mount is 203mm rotor only.
And last I heard Commencal was working on a 180mm brake mount at the Atherton's request,but I don't think anything came of it.
overheating for one thing and smaller rotors tends to give you less modulation but more bite which could be either a good or a bad thing if you dont know how to handle it...I think 6 is a bit small for a a full DH setup and 8 is overkill...7 is the magic number here.
I have. On my hardtail. Rode clipped in for the first time, was scared of riding too fast so I dragged brake down a medium sloped high speed section, half way down I had ZERO stopping power. Never rode clips again.
not offense bro...but I live in whistler and regardless of the rotor size or even the brand of the brake, when you do a run from the top of Whistler all the way down the village, YOUR ROTORS GET VERY WARM therefore changing the temperature of the brake fluid.
That said, you'd probably never feel the difference riding a trail like Freightrain( cause you hardly brake coming down that trail).On the other hand, if you do a lap down O-Sin/ Goats Gully/In Deep and then something like Whistler DH , you would feel a slight ( or a big if you got ****ty brakes ) difference in your braking power, no matter how good your brakes are...
Not saying it would be horrible brake fade but one with 6"rotors would definitely feel a bigger difference.
