Could get 210mm rotors on the back too Probably should have gone with a two pot caliper though as this setup was a bit overkill thinking back on it.
Didn't overheat though like the 165mm brakes I had on it before though

What can I add to my bike to make it better?
Obviously disk brakes are first on the list

The big disks are good for preventing overheating in the Alps. Maybe it's the caliper that's at fault

Yeah exactly, that one was close to 3k new, and i got it for £500 Such good bikes, i love mine because im rather out of shape at the moment, and it climbs just like a hardtail, Its bad enough carrying myself up a hill but a big bike is just killer.
