JT! Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 Yes, just like koolstops on a smooth rim in the dry. I've had 3 DD bikes now spanning nearly 2 years and i've never had a disc that worked in the rain, as soon as the rotor got wet or muddy there was no bite or hold.Not just spitting, I'm taking about rain, so the rotor can't actually get dry by getting hot.Odd, really discs work pretty much the same when wet. Discs are certainly less effected by water than any rim brake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 My mates maggy was better in the wet than in the dry! (heatsink reds and rock blues on a Echo rim).It was on all three of my bikes, just no hold or bite at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was shit in the wet, and very shit when dry.But each to their own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fixed Pants™ Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Crap wet discs could mean very slight contamination i reckon...Agreeing with the majority, it's alright, but it looks pretty wrong, probably because it's 26able/it looks like a 26 with 24s.

Muel Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 I still have my Trek 220, amazing bikes. Mines from a few years before that though, it was rigid. It now has T-Pro forks and some old Renthal motorbike handlebars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
