I'll need to upgrade my rear disc before doing any serious downhill stuff. The rear brakes faded out and that was when I was going slow. Had I been going fast the rotor would have heated up waaaay more.
I found a kit that allows a 9" rotor using the same calipers (made by the same company that makes my brake setup). Its about 50 bucks. I have to see if it will fit my rear, as it is actually designed for the front. However, from what I could tell, my front and rear mounting brackets on my bike are identical, so it may just fit the rear.
I figure with a 9" rotor vs the 6 that is on there, I'll have a lot more heat dissipation, as well as more mass, which will heat up slower.
