Default 14" rotors w/ 18'' Boyd Smoothies

Well it works but took a little grinding on the caliper and a tiny bit on the wheel too. Oh yeah flush valve stems are a must.
The old power slot rotor & caliper bracket weighed 25 lbs the Baer stuff almost 29 lbs, the better stopping power should make up for the add unsprung weight.............

Looks like a nice tight fit. I assume the previous powerslots were just stock replacements? Any reason you went with the baer + size over the powerslot + size?

Didn't know they had a Powerslot + size? I bought the Baer kit on ebay for 330.00 shipped. They are a 2 piece with aluminum centers too.
