6 inch would be fine for a hardtail dude, 8inch is just an urban legend

yea i guess its personal preference, personally i would rather run 6 inch rotors on a hardtail, mainly cause they are lighter and smaller

XSIV's rock, the red DBH12's are the same as Grimeca Sys12's, however we seem to have them with the Sys8 lever over here.
The screw top reservoir makes it a little hard to bleed and the standard screws strip really easily, replaced mine last night with some new pozi-drive ones, poxy cheap phillips head screws that you have to drill out cause someones over tightened them 
I didn't have a choice of 8" on the front, was born that way brakes came with 2x 8" rotors and I was too cheap to buy smaller and theres nothing wrong with having huge brakes
