Anyway, i'm using it now.. so far so good, never tried with OEM brakelines.. my steelbraided one works well with it..

needs running in, cuz new ones are quite thick..

 

IMO, a brake disc can last for years(10-20yrs), never heard of ppl change brake discs becuz it had wear out.. only due to accident, lost alignment..

 

anyway, OEM ones definately are much more ex, maybe double the price?

 

these ones cools down faster than OEM ones..

wat type of rotors u using now?? same as the ones posted here??

My bike is 7 years old and previous owner was involved in an accident...so the left side front disc is shaking and the surface of the disc has worn off badly maybe due to negligence on previous owner side.

So for $340 i think its worth it even if the disc cud last for only 5 years(note: if only) which i think shd be more...

To me as long as the braking power is there it shd be fine even if brake pads wear off faster at ratio of 2:1.5...unless it reduces the lifespan of the pads to 1/4....anyway there are so many brake pads to play ard with.

Bro skateboy...really appreciate your explanation.

i'm glad that u can understand my poor explanation.

a noob here..

 

what does "floating disc" means? or what does the float is suppose to be? is floating disc different from those OEM discs? any pictures to illustrate?

OEM rotors should b floating as well but it is manufactured till too tight therefore no floating effect.

 

the part where the pads r in contact with, the floating types can shake abit n the OEM can't. that is wat floating means. n this give u the best braking u wanna have.

 

hope u can understand.

bro braking power and feel depends on the brake hose...OEM rubber hose will expand and lose feel after a few years...changing to after market steel braided hoses is recommended.....most of the brands are similiar but the important part is the bleeding of the fluid not many mechanics in sg are very skillful in bleeding.

yes... braking power n feel depends on the brake hose. then the pads is forced against the rotors. the rotors fixed to the wheel will slow down via the grip of the tyre...

 

everything from brake pump to brake hose, brake pads, brake disc n tyres are all important elements for braking. anything less will not make it possible.

Brake hose is another thing i need to change....up till now i just do bleeding and the response is still good...just that my disc is shaking and the surface quite bad..

Just budget is tight now..need to change my chain...and my discs...tot of buffering the old discs and sell it off.

I'm not sure whether it's floating or not.. Anyway R1 claims that it has OEM floating, but seems like normal ones..

 

my friend used to had a R1 with full float discs, they shake!!

 

my brake hose are perfectly bleed!! even during a cold night, it's still a good feel, non spongy!!

[duckit]

Yupz Floating Disc will have the shaky its like as they are not tighten properly in face its made like that i guess .
