Tartridge Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 That disc won't last long. ← What about if you stick it on an F1 car, and heat it up to around 1500 degreesC 5 or 6 times a lap? :( Carbon is awesome. Not sure about some of those parts though, haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawnmowerman Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 The rotor is just stupid and i cant figure out if the magura is all carbon or just a carbon cover :( How does the stem cap work :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tartridge Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 yeah whats the deal with the top cap?? ← Im guessing its one of those crappy Diatech headsets that uses a compression wedge to tighten it, and the top cap is just a plug... Craig - yeah, they use carbon disc rotors on F1 cars :( Their working temperature is silly high though (need to be very hot, not sure of exact temps, or their brakes are crap). Unless you use special pads... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave85 Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 How does the stem cap work :( ← Could be just a cover that pushes into the top of the allen bolt :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan@Trials-uk Posted March 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 :S I tihnk the rotor is awsome, and It works, dno what it feels like, but I works lol, I think it probs be crap in the wet, they meh.....

Ingram Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 the disc would work as long as it was hot, i think they do it on motorbikes, well i think thats the princerpal :( lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun H Posted March 4, 2005 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 I always thought that F1 cars used ceramic discs which I'm 100% sure glow when braking, not sure on carbon fibre ones though. Found this That looks like the aircraft grade of CF though, otherwise you'd see the pretty weave. :blink:" I reckon the disc'd be ok though, carbon fibres pretty strong stuff but I wouldn't think it'd last long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mehukatti Posted March 4, 2005 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 (edited) that bike and carbon parts belong to multi time finnish champion. it's one of the lightest bikes that i have seen. he says that the carbon disc prototype in picture weights 46g compared to marta SL disc which is 106g and actually works very nicely. the carbon stem and fork are only for his ultralight titanium frame cruiser bike. the hs33 slave cylinder caps are very nice, only a few grams but the cylinders will look like new from year to year. normally your shoes wear the paint of them. i have them on my coustellier. if you want to see his bianchi live, just go to the biu european championship in sweden this may...

JTM Posted March 4, 2005 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 Yeah I was under the impression that F1 brakes were ceramic aswell? Same-ish as the new merc slr? They go on fire, fire is good :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt_Tupman Posted March 4, 2005 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 Craig - yeah, they use carbon disc rotors on F1 cars :ermm: Their working temperature is silly high though (need to be very hot, not sure of exact temps, or their brakes are crap). ← Not true anymore :)" as many people have said, they are used in Moto GP where the running temperature is a lot lower and unlike F1 where they warm them before a race in Moto Gp they don't because they heat up so easyly. I myself though think a ceramic disc would be good for trials because of there abilty to work in frezzing temps and in water they don't have as much power as carbon but if there good enough for World Rally cars then there good enough for me :wub: Oh and they use a type of un sintered pad with the caebon discs :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartridge Posted March 4, 2005 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 My bad then, years behind, haha... Must be organic pads if they arent sintered? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought "Carbon" was a different thing to "Carbon Fibre" Another simple lesson learnt :) corish ← yeah you are right - a carbon fibre rotor will shatter into pieces very soon.... as will all carbon fibre pieces if you scratch them they will get stress concentrations at that point and fail - so a carbon fibre disc rotor is possibly the most stupid and dangerous idea of all time .. . . some of the spacers a good idea - but again the cassette - silly - it wont work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
