What size are my brake rotors?

What MM should I replace my rotors?

Is 180mm rotor enough?
180mm rotors offer greater stopping power than 160mm ones and are better for larger riders and harsh descents. 2. 160mm rotors are lighter, provide better modulation and work just fine for small riders and bikes that won’t be used for downhill.

Set screws are put on during manufacture to keep the disc in place on the assembly line. However, once the car rolls off the line, they are completely useless. Just to be clear, the set screw is on the brake disc to hold it in place.
How do you remove a rotor screw?
If the impact driver doesn’t work, place the ball end of a hammer on the rotor screw. Strike the hammer on the screw with another hammer a few times. This normally breaks up the rust and frees the screw. If that doesn’t work, I use a punch and a hammer.
How do you measure brake rotors thickness?
To measure your rotor’s minimum operational thickness, place a micrometer at the thinnest point on the rotor’s surface where it meets the brake pads. If your rotor has worn past this thickness or needs to be cut, you need new rotors.
