Measured my Hayes 9's today with digital calipers: 1.8mm.

Thank you for your info!

Do you think a 2.0 rotor would fit? I mean, pad & rotor wear should quickly surpass the .2mm difference, right?

I have used thicker rotors with Hayes, it just makes the lever throw shorter initially. It seems to me after everything wears in and then self-adjusts it would be the same...

That some aftermarket pads (ebb?) are .02 thicker or so, potentially creating a bit of a problem. Just a side note...

I use rotors from a company called "braking" their rotors are 2.0 and I have had zero problems with them on my Hayes set up. I would definitely say they even work better...D
