CycleForums makes rotors? Do they come with shitloads of annoying ads?



Bent rotor, huh? I would have thought that if it were bent so badly it's pushing the pistons back, that it would nearly lock up the wheel and be obvious right off the bat. I didn't read carefully enough & assumed you meant you were losing lever pressure while riding, not just pushing back & forth. But a Brembo RCS 19x18/20 would still be sweet, as long as you're blowing dough!

Is it the ceramic composite rotors he's pushing, or just the bling-factor ones w/ the C/F carriers? IMO, the C/F carriers have small weight-savings, close to the hub (vs. out at the rim, where a few ounces counts a lot more) - and I'd have reservations about their durability at the stressed areas (the button contact areas).

These on the other hand....

I think theyre composite or graphite. CF is not good for the street since they need to warm up before they work, or so I am told anyway. The ones they have also sit in the carrier a certain way that makes them more durable.
