so, that's a 36er?!

You know I looked at that first picture and thought to myself something didn't look right. Either the disk and callipers looked too small or the spokes looked too long.

Mystery solved

Why would you have two calipers on the back? To assist skidz?

I have never lacked for rear brake.

You should borrow my bike, I have poor man's Zees and had to put a smaller rotor on the back to stop over zealous skidz. And I'm coming from the Hayes Mag school of backing into corners with binary like brake application that is Hayes Mags.

I loved my mags, sucks I had such continuous sticky piston issues.

Your actions disgust me

That was the same size drop for me as well. First time I've not had 203mm rotors on both ends of a bike. I see Hayes still sell a 225mm rotor...

Where? I tried to get one for my bike about a year ago and couldn't find one anywhere (local or international)

Well I don't know anywhere that actually sells them, but I think they may still make them.
