Im thinking of changing my rotors on my T129 mainly for a bit of bling but also to see if it reduces the annoying vibration after a long ride, any thoughts ?

Ah ha! Another person with a t129 / t129s brake vibration. Is it just after a long ride with yours? Mines back in the lbs for the third time trying to sort it out. I must admit though, mines doing it all the time now. they've swapped pads to a different make and the vibration goes away for a bit but comes back after a ride or two. Is it front and rear? Turkey gobble like sound too?

Not used them with those brakes, but I did with some Juicy Threes for a while. They're made of cheese, near enough. Gouged to hell and completely worn out with six months of going on.

Used the 200 mm rotors f&r on the Voltage at one point with Elixir 5s no probs at all. The 200s use the same spider as the 180s the calipers have no chance to come in contact the spider. Same weight as RT76s identical performance & cheaper

Having said that if you're having brake problems they won't cure anything.

Yes that's right a Turkey Gobble sound, I just thought it's the terrain I ride as my formula did it on my cube hardatail as well, but maybe not quite as bad, it seems to be after they have cooled for a while then used again or at the very start once warm they seem ok.

I use 203mm superstar floating rotors with juicy 7's, only issue I've had has been the front one rubbing on the base of the fox 140rl's I've got.

Mine have got so bad that the make the whole fork vibrate visibly. It feels like abs? on off really quickly? The rear got so bad at one point the whole frame was vibrating really loudly.
