scottcj9 Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 Its rare that they snap, i have snapped one before but i slipped of a wall and all my weight was on the disk. Most often they just bend and you bend them back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ogre Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 theres a vid of a guy snapping the alloy part of a floating rotor on a gap to front, but again unlikely with steel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CurtisRider Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 I've snapped one whilst doing a stoppy, although that was an old formula brake that was a little too fragile. Rotors do bend as well, quite alot more easily than you would think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben H! Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 I very much doubt you will snap a rotor on the front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
