Pretty simple quiery....

Is there such a thing as 9" rotors and is it possible to get them with adaptors to suit codes??

Yes there is, and yes standard post-mount adaptors (which Codes use, as well as pretty well everything else these days) are available for all the common DH fork setups. I have a 224mm/9" Hayes rotor, they're supposedly available through Dirt Works (weren't when I asked but they are/were in the catalog) but I got mine direct from a Hayes team rider. Formula also make 220mm rotors and adaptors to suit. Hope make 9" rotors but I think the adaptor may only be for a Mono M6 on Fox 40s or something weird like that. All of the above are sold by CRC.

Edit:
Formula 220mm
Hayes V9
Hope 9"

why the fuck would you want 9 inch rotors with codes they are already powerful enough to stop a truck or a kona stinky.:p

Some people are coordinated and dextrous enough to be able to have more powerful brakes without dying. Also, larger rotors do a better job of dissipating heat, making it less likely that you'll glaze your brake pads over - which is a problem with ANY brake, regardless of how powerful it is.

here's a question.. why the hell do you need codes & then 9" rotors?

stop riding your bloody brakes!

Yeah DW has them as far as i know. Just a qn, i may be wrong, but cant you run any disc with any caliper as long as the pads suit? and the mounts obvioulsy.

You need pads to suit rotor sizes? I didn't know that, are you sure?

Red Raven used to be the big rotor people they had a 10" rotor. Just tried to connect to their site, guess they went broke.

seriously if you need codes and 9inch rotors you should look at wether you actually like downhill or your m8 rekn its sic so you do it but are 2 scared to go fast. im getting 7 inch rotors for my codes because i dont need 8inch power.

Not really....^^^

It's not that 8 inch gives you power more so the heat dissapassion (Sp?) that a bigger rotor gives you.

A big thing to check out is wether the forks you are going to be running said pie plate sized rotors on is rated to handle that much leverage.

Snapping mounts or even lowers can end badly.

i think bigger rotors gives you better modulation, heat dispersion (so your fluid does boil) and, not to mention, more power.

to the people that are saying, "Wy Da HeLl DO ya needs dat MuCh poWeR? OMGOdzzz!"
its their choice if they want want heeps of power and they are good a not locking up the wheels... why not?
i would do it

i don't see the point of running brake-less, but you don't see me pestering the people that do run brakel-ess.. "omg get sum brakes!! blah blah blah"

If you're really keen mate some company had a stand at Eurobike with a hub and brake setup that allowed you to run 2 discs, one on each side of the hub...coupled with two 8 piston calipers. Insane. Don't know how they conquer the lack of a right side brake mount on forks but it'd be hellishly effective braking setup. I second Powley too. The question he asked was 'can you get 9 inch rotors?' not 'am i an idiot for wanting more power?'.

power, iuno, however quicker, yes....as a 8" in larger in diameter obviously than a 6" disc, so it is further away from the center of rotation. The same amount of disc passes between the pads no matter what size rotor to stop the wheel, its just it doesn't rotate as much being a larger rotor, hence the wheel not rotating as much, hence quicker, if that makes sense ;)
