8" Shimano rotor question

I have been warned to only use 8 inch rotors on the front if
the bike has a through axle.

Don't mean to start that front tire ejection thread again.

8" rotors at least on the front. I prefer the hayes rotors
to the deore ones.

Can I just buy an 8" kit? If so where? I haven't been able
to locate any online. TIA

Huh? Front wheel ejection! I have the standard front axle,
should I not upgrade the rotor? Do I need a new fork and hub
for the thru axel?

Please advise!

There has been much debate about disk brakes and quick
release hubs. In short there have been deaths attributed to
the force of disk break ejecting the quick release from the
fork end...hence the name "Lawyers Taps" for the taps on the
forks dropouts.

Search Google and you will see numerous threads.

Yes if you switch to through axle you will need new
fork and hub.

I was using an 8" rotor with a QR on the front. It never
caused me any problems. If you put the QR on correctly, it
shouldn't cause problems.
