11 or 12" rotor question

Post by AlanS »

Without physically taking the wheel off, how would I know if my '06 XC70 Ocean Race has 11 or 12" rotors? I need front brakes and rotors ASAP! If I do take the wheel off, how are they measured? Cuz 1" is easy to misread with the caliper and dust shield on. Do I just measure braking surface ...?

You could measure the circumference and divide by pi to get the diameter.

I think you need the wheel off for this.

Have you checked the vendors here for your model to see if they listed your special, cool Ocean model?
