1337 Trials Posted November 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 (edited) well not really as you need the whole surface of the pad to make contact with the rotor to make it sharp, and it would depend on the composit of the pad as well as the condition of the rotor, and as for cooling the only brake that i have had any problem with as for cooling was the really old C2's hope brought out, which you had a on fly wheel adjuster so that you could move the piston your self, which was a good idea, yeah but your rotor mate is really cool lol i wish i had money for one of those beasts lolyeah its best to get the bigest rotor (in experiance) well 160mm to 180 works great, as the rotor (the bigger it gets) rotates slower, so that it can bite alot better and get that sharpness back, so a 180 should be alot sharper than a 160 anyway ooo. I see mate, thx for that. http://www.wiggle.co.uk/ <<< They got avid bb7 only £63 the rotor I like but only 160, you think 160 be ok then???Looks like its xtr lever and xtr cable Ps. Sound good? ~Matty Edited November 19, 2006 by Matt-y Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
