Brake Rotor Upgrade for Himiway Cruiser

[Proteusmym]

I would like to change out the 180mm front brake rotor to a 203mm rotor. Anyone done this? Any special or unique procedure? And, which 203mm rotor works on the Cruiser? Also, I am using the Juin Tech M1 hydraulic caliper. Which caliper adapter do I need to install for the 203mm rotor? Thank you for any help.

You will need an adapter.

Thank you, Timpo. That helps a lot. I’ll just get any adapter. Probably work just fine.

How did the 203mm rotor work on the front of your Himiway? I have a set of the M1 brakes coming from Bolton sometime in October

I thought about doing this too - I believe the existing brakes has a 160mm to 180mm adaptor already to mount on the fork. So ideally you would get a 160mm to 203mm adaptor, rather than stacking them.

its not a good idea puting a 203mm rotor onto a fork not designed to take that extra braking force. I would pout on high quality housing first if your having trouble stopping.
