Which size discs?

Building up a new C64. Do I want the 140s or 160s?

Also, if EPS, internal or external control?

altho a lot of people use 140, i've yet to see a compelling argument against 160

140s are Pro

Just like tires, I always want the biggest discs my frame/fork can support. Because, why not.

I guess it depends on a few things. Your weight, where you ride, lots of downhill curves?

Many run 160’s up front and 140’s in the rear. I’m a big guy who loves lots of downhill curves. I run 160’s on both.

Enjoy!

Exactly if your small or medium build go 160 front, 140 rear. That’s what I did, but as a big guy.. I’m going to swap to 160 for both next disc replacement. Haven’t had any issues, per day... but I want the headroom.

And if you weight 120#, are just fine.
