tunariaan Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 I currently use Ashima rotors on Formula R1 brakesfeels like i dont have enough stopping power.Whats the best rotor in your opinion.i have used hope before and its pretty good
BrandonF_ Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 I have found KCNC Razors with metal brakepads the absolute bomb. Price, weight and durability! Yes! You can have all three ????
nonky Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 ARE YOU SURE the problem is not the Formula R1's?
JXV Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 I currently use Ashima rotors on Formula R1 brakesfeels like i dont have enough stopping power.Whats the best rotor in your opinion.i have used hope before and its pretty goodRiaan Discs with lots of holes where there should be metal will be lighter but there is also less friction and they get hotter under load. I'm very happy with shimano discs. Not the lightest but robust and they work well. Brakes will work better if no air in the hydraulics and when the pistons/pads are aligned perfectly parallel to the disc surface.
tunariaan Posted November 20, 2015 Author Posted November 20, 2015 ARE YOU SURE the problem is not the Formula R1's?nope...i like them have had them for 2 years and not one rebleed or anythingbut i have only used hope on them and ashima

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 Alligator Pizza rotors are pretty good without breaking the bank.
JXV Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 thx i understand how the pad and breaks workJa my point was that if everything is mechanically healthy then some discs are more air space than metal - go for the ones with more friction area. You can also go up a size for more stopping power

WrightJnr Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 What size rotor do you currently have on the front? Are you a light medium or heavy individual?
tunariaan Posted November 21, 2015 Author Posted November 21, 2015 weight 90kgseems like most guys talk about the ice tech so might try it out
BarHugger Posted November 21, 2015 Posted November 21, 2015 weight 90kgseems like most guys talk about the ice tech so might try it outDoes not matter which rotors it is.......when in motion keep fingers as far away as possible. Excellent mini-amputation devices......or as the case this morning...... ......instant manicure device.......(sailor language cum laude).

That'll make your eyes water, and have the local priest saying prayers for you! Ice tech rotors are the bomb!
Mojoman Posted November 21, 2015 Posted November 21, 2015 Would a change of pad material not make more difference?
tunariaan Posted November 21, 2015 Author Posted November 21, 2015 think so yesi can clearly feel the difference between ashima and hope rotorsRiaan Discs with lots of holes where there should be metal will be lighter but there is also less friction and they get hotter under load.

JXV Posted November 21, 2015 Posted November 21, 2015 Icetech rotors are alu sandwiched between steel facings. They really do run cooler than normal discs. Dunno if it makes them stop better but v happy with mine.
