 You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
Those fat wheels seem to take a bit more effort to slow down. I saw a post saying 200mm rotors were above spec for Singulars, but would Shimano Zee brakes at 180mm front / 160mm back be ok?
Cheers,

i have 160mm on mine and they're fine.
What? Did yours only come with one disc up front?!

180/160 BB7s on mine.
I find the huge amount of grip and increased rolling resistance (Nates front and back) to not require much actual braking!

Same here!
180/160 Shimano XT.
Do absolutely fine on my Puffin.
Nates and quite surprised on how well they roll and how much they grip going down.
I've got 180/180 Magura Louise here because that's what I had to hand.
I'd concur with the others - going down anything braking seems to be optional.
Going along or up stuff just stopping pedalling is enough to slow you down quite quickly due to tyre drag 😉
