Right now I'm running an Avid 203 mm rotor in the rear. Physics tells me that there really isn't much need for such a big rotor in the rear, as the majority of braking force comes from the front. For instance, my street motorbike has two rotors in the front that are nearly double the size of its rear rotor, and nearly all other types of machines have bigger front rotors as well. So, what's the deal with same size rotors front and rear? Anyone running 6 inch rotors in the rear? 7 inch? I know some world cup racers are using smaller rotors, but they're very likely using less brake than me, at least on average.
As for beta on me, I'm around 205 lbs, and ride pretty fast on an 05 Stab Supreme (41 lbs) here in Vancouver and in Whistler.
