Hi to all,

 

Anyone out there using China front rotors? Care to share some feedbacks on them?

 

I am using them (& rear as well).... So far so good. Brakes feels firm and no jerk. But becos one of my originals was loose already so it felt better than original. I reckon for normal usage it should be ok. The wave design in fact serves not only for nice looks but also for better heat dissipation and more ways for the rotor to expand when heated up (hence preventing warping). S10 comes with original wavy rotors if i am correct.

 

But if u do harsh braking, then perhaps you should invest in original or spend some mola on a reputable brand. Also, never splash water on the rotors after ride as the rotors are heated and may warp. This goes for all rotors and not only for the cina ones.

Sweeeeeeee......... Should have brought the other time...

 

Thanks bro... In fact, the one I am intending to get is similar to yours. Look like its time to save and go to ebay asap. My rotors are crying to be changed. haha...

 

I've posted some link earlier...

Use umbrella loh! Hahahaa!!

 

Actually the rotors are 'cooled' whenever in motion with the wind blowing and the rotors spinning. It is when it stops, there is no additional way to dispel the heat and the temp gets held on for extended period of time. And just like when if u wash a hot glass pot immeduately under the sink, the pot will crack.

 

When it rains or when we go over a puddle of water on a dry day, water gets spins out once we ride and uses the brakes. So maybe not too bad?

 

Anyway... I think i may need to bleed my brake hoses or change front pads, abit stiff and not as smooth as before.
