As above. Running a 203 which I assumed was the max size but I’ve got 220 spare that I want to use and wondered if anyone else was running this without problems?

The forces on the CenterLock adapter won't be any different for different rotor sizes. A 6" rotor is capable of sending you over the bars. Being launched over the bars by a 9" rotor won't load the adapter any differently.

Can’t remember the last time I was launched over the bars by pressing the front brake but thanks for the input 👍

I can. A car turned in front of me and I hit the brakes as hard as I could. Missed the car by an inch or two but went over the bars. With 6" rotors.

Good job you had quick reactions , bet they still tried to blame you for it. Hope I never have to test mine in the same way , I was hoping to go to a bigger rotor so I don’t have to pull the levers as hard on steeper stuff.
