Mark W Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 Chorrillas have been making little bits and pieces (such as metal TPA wheels) for quite some time now, and have now expanded their range. They now produce a disc protector (suitable for 160mm rotors) - weighing in at 26.4g, and made of high quality 7075 aluminium. The Gorilla is Chorrillas' answer to brake boosters - similar to TNN's Integrated Booster and Clamps system, but bolting the booster directly to the clamps. That weighs 102.8g. Uses a 'washerless' clamp design too to keep things nice and simple. They've also got an aluminium rotor that should be out some time soon - Adam's got a sample on the front of his FANS at the moment so we'll see how it works out! They also have a few other ambitious projects on the go so keep your eyes peeled... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikeperson45 Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 Ayy, look awesome. Price is a bit steep for me but still good to see some new ideas out there. If I could be bothered, I'd be tempted to go rear disc now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Beach Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 (edited) Out of interest, what does the 'RR' on their products stand for? Is it the double r in Chlorrillas? Stuff looks good anyway. Edited March 18, 2011 by Jake Beach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurence--Trials Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 (edited) Love the range, all very unique and newwww Any chance of a picture(s) of the alu disc? Edited March 18, 2011 by Laurence--Trials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForrestDump Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 Quick question, although the disk protector is pictured on the rear, can it also be used up front? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G_! Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 I'm glad to see Juan Carlos Chorrillas is making new stuff good work from Spain On 3/18/2011 at 6:46 PM, Jake Beach said: Out of interest, what does the 'RR' on their products stand for?

dann2707 Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Yayy new parts! Think the disk protector should have some holes machined out of it though, not for weight, but for the aesthetics; looks a little bland imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurence--Trials Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 I ordered one of these disc protector's in silver on monday, hopefully should be in my house now Will pop some pictures up and a review later on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walker Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 Not a good idea to run the disk protector with titanium bolts though! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurence--Trials Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 Why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 I think he means because ti is harder than steel and alu if it recieves any heavy blows it's more likely to snap clean off than bend like alu and steel would. So if the disc protector keeps getting smashed into walls and rocks on failed sidehops the bolt heads will probably shear off taking the disc protector with it and leaving you trying to remove the rest of the threads somehow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Reynolds Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 Mark W, Will tarty be selling the brake clamps separately? Could you use your own 2 bolt brake booster on it, or does the extra length cause tyre clearance problems? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At that sort of distance i would imagine on the majority of frames the extra length would be offset by the extra height of the mounting position. Might not be true for super low clearance frames though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
