let you google that for me
I know the answer is 'washers' but no 200mm. Also why the fuck do SRAM make 200mm rotors?!

They introduced them, and 180mm, after they bought Avid as a FU to the rest of the manufacturers, and to make everyone need new adapters. Interestingly the market changed to 180 pretty quickly, but 200/203 still exists. I guess because 200/203 is very easy to get around, but 180/185 is harder to shim or grind.
At least, that's how I remember it. I could be very wrong - wouldn't be the first time!

Never seen them in 37mm, sorry. And yeah, Ali has an interesting search function. Choose your words wisely!
I thought you were taking the Mickey, but you want them for Mezzers yeah?

Yep still have a serviceable Avid 185 rotor. It's for sale if anyone wants it.

Yeah. Got some spare rings already. But was keen to check out some Prince Ali specials.

They look pretty sweet. Calliper in particular. Lever looks good to but a bit chunkier than I imagined.
They have a nice industrial look. I’m still really tempted so looking forward to hearing your thoughts on them.
Are they dot or mineral oil?
I look forward to your review. I have a set in the cupboard I bought to see what they were like. I can’t bring myself to try them though

I’ll try them for you! No danger money required
Flick me a pm with address.
How were they to bleed out of curiosity?

Levers were set up American and rear line not connected but came full of fluid and capped.
I swapped the lines and topped off the resovoirs. Lever feel is good, I haven't had to bleed them.
They are mineral fluid.

Done - in the name of science, I’ll strap them to the Kavenz and take them to Eatons to see how they hold up!

Slide on. The c-part of the clamp can be removed, but it's easiest to just remove your grips and slide the levers on.
I had a set on my old kiddy-hauling bike and they were fine.
As @CHEWY said, they arrive set up US. It's quick and easy to swap the levers over as one is not connected anyway. I also didn't have to bleed mine. Though I think I read or heard somewhere that the thread for the lever bleed port might need an adaptor? I'm not 100% sure about this.

In the picture that C-Clamp looks pretty "Matchmaker" like. Do you know if they are indeed MM compatible?
