Careful, just like suntour make some nasty forks and some half decent ones, rockshox make some brilliant ones and some pretty terrible ones. The Darts etc are not much cop. My brother's old saracen has a dart 1 and it's horrendous, like the sort of thing you'd find on a £100 apollo.

After years of owning a Specialized P2, finally got myself a big bike!
Giant DH Team frame, draped with lots of lovely components!

i'll just have to pay a bit more then to get the better stuff ive seen some fitted to bikes down halfords and they looked the business and felt firm and lots of adjustment which is good for a fiddle.

they are some big discs whats the stopping power like.

203mm rotors, 4-pot, plenty of power, one of my favorite parts of the bike. Very sharp, awesome power, very happy with them!
My fave part has to be the rear linkage though, beautifuly engineered!

where would one procure such a set of bad ass rotors plus calipers

Chain Reactions are probably the best out there, well, personally I rate them.

What bike would you want them for?

claud butler it has cable discs thats right cable operated discs with teeny weeny one calipers.

Ive got Hope mono mini's on my P2, which are sweet, but avid juicys are great value for money, depends on what u want to spend really.
