A few more Deathlands for me, up to 111 now.

I started the third Thursday Next book and got about 3 hours or so into it but I just couldnt really carry on. I enjoy the world and the concepts behind what is happening but the story itself behind that is just fucking dull. I might go back and try to get a bit further but as of right now I don't have the motivation as I just don't care about what might happen.

Instead I started A Sunlit Man as I said I would. I have just got past the point where Wit has showed up again and I am super excited to "see" him again as I always enjoyed him in the other cosmere novels so I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes. It is also nice to hear places like Roshar mentioned again as it has been a while since I heard those names :D

Did you finish it, Dresden? How did you find what you read?

If people want to waste their drastically over priced food I'll happily finish that shit. If people want to look at me weird for both saving myself money and stopping perfectly good food from being put in the bin, that's on them, they are the idiots from where I'm standing!

Everyday. I feed the birds that live around me everyday, twice a day. When I get home from work they are usually around waiting, chilling in my garden, ready for some easy food.

It is nice to give them a space that they can mostly relax in and get some easy food, the city is fucking harsh especially for birds that a lot of people see as pests. I prefer these birds to most people so I'm happy to give them something to look forward to, some respite.

Yeh I appreciate that. I have been doing all my own bike work, maintenance and upgrading for around 30 years now so I'm fairly confident in my own abilities and knowing what feels safe and what doesn't. It was more the text on what I have that was throwing me and making me wonder if I needed any additional hardware.

Thanks for the input and I definitely won't be slapping on a 203, I'll leave that for the MTB xD

I'll be sure to check in after failure :p

Nah seriously I appreciate peoples concern and it isn't like it isn't a risk I haven't considered at all but think it is a risk that is fine to take weighing up all sides.

I hear what everyone is saying but in all my years of cycling I've never once seen a fork state a size of rotor it is rated for.

I have looked for specs on this one since people have been saying and again no where does it state a rated up to "x" rotor size. I really think it is very unlikely that a 20mm increase will cause me any issues I'm willing to yolo it. I'm happy for people to mock me and sayi told you so if it snaps and I post the aftermath xD

I more want it for improved cooling, stopping power isn't an issue. I also can't see the difference between adding two pistons and adding a bit of diameter. Both will increase forces exerted on the form so if it is gonna snap either of those options will do so.

Anyway, warnings from everyone heeded, I'll still be going for it xD

 

Hi all,

Wondering if anyone can help me with this question before I spend my money on a different mount for this caliper.

I am going to increase my front rotor size but what is printed on the side of my current mount has me confused. It says 160mm or 180mm implying that this mount can be used for both but surely the pads need to be in a different position for each size of rotor? I can't just bang a 180mm rotor on and change nothing else and expect it to work fine can I?

Can anyone clarify for me what this text on the side of the mount is getting at, am I able to use this mount for the bigger rotor somehow? If so how?

I plan on taking it apart this weekend and trying it out for sizing before I order a different mount but in my mind the caliper would need to be pushed further out to make space for the increase in size for the rotor and was hoping someone could enlighten me on what this text actually means whilst I plan the work in my head :D
