cwtrials Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 What are people using for rotors on the MT7? The Magura Storm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben_travis Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 The standard storm rotors are really good. It took a decent sized gap to 90 (c/w with a 3/10 landing) to cause some damage to mine! I'd fully recommend them. If you're looking for something else, you could try and line up a shimano rotor for them! I've just got the Deore Rotors on at the moment and they seem reasonable.

Mark W Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 Still using the Shimano Saint-style rotor on mine and it works a treat. Trialtech pads, Shimano rotor, ideal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went for the standard Storm rotors in the beginning as the brakes came with them but they didn't really develop a decent hold.. as if you needed to bed the pads back in every time you ride. The choice of rotors was taken off me since I once accidently pulled the lever when landing a rather big abubaca, which led to the rotor being kinda bulged in the rear. I then went for the old SM-RT66 I used to have with the Saints.. works perfectly well. Any infos on those Trialtech pads, though? I remember someone mentioning them but couldn't find them on Tartybikes or something back then. Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 The MT-series pads came in a little after their first batch of other pads, they're available on our site now. We just stock the MT5 model as they're a bit cheaper and should give less pad rock (the 'V' in the middle of the pad seems to give less movement in the caliper than the 4 individual pad setup). I've been running them in my brakes for a few weeks and they're spot on, really pleased with them. The power is ridiculous. Ali was using them before me and said he'd dropped a rotor size since switching to them from the Magura Performance pads and I can see why. I accidentally got my front brake super hot on a ride not so long ago, and rather than glazing and losing all performance they just gave a 'gritty' feel at the lever very briefly, then start working fine again. EDIT: Forgot to say, I'm using the RT-76 rotors (so the floating ones) rather than the solid rotors. The solid ones seem really good too though from what I've seen.

ben_travis Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 I'm rocking the trialtech pads at the moment as well. Brilliant holding power on them. Also seem to be doing ok on the modulation side for my twisted stoppies... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
