Aluminum Disc Rotors

[NVWOCI WVS]

link to them

seem like a bad idea to me, but could they be a good way to save a few grams?

[Mr Rankin]

Megamo used to use these. They seemed to work really well but wore down quite quickly.

I would have some i they were really light

[Mike Winton.]

there like £60 :| thats a joke, would rather keep the few grams

I remember about 6 years ago when they where on Megamos, the aluminium rotors worked well, but I heard from riders using them that they wore down quite quickly. No idea what pads where used though.

I think Danni Comas used to have aluminium rotor on his mod disc, it was on the rear, i think it was a plazmatic rotor. They sad it works much better in the wet...

was a plaz

didnt plaz experiment with a carbon rotor and rubber pads for comp use? might be dreaming that one though...

Correct me if I am wrong but I am pretty sure Benito Ross used some aluminium disk during the final of

the koxx days comp.

I was lucky enough to get the very last Megamo Pro Equip 26" brand fire new last year complete with ally rotors.

I was amazed at how well they worked wet or dry, I was told from various people that they would let me down eventually, oh no I new best........NOT. :$

When the pads wore down i ordered new ones, cost a fortune, I then fitted em and then I relised that the discs were shot as well.

I managed to get some more off Fred savage, fitted them and changed the pads again just to make sure, still shite.

granted they were old Magura Loise (I think) and things have come on a bit since then, but if you need to ride your bike to play out or anything like that be warned they will not last, however if like full on comp riders you ride your bike in a section and carry it to the next one i am guessing that they will last and work amazing.

Give em a try but don't say you were never warned, let us know how you get on.

Good luck.

John.
