[/quote'] economies of scale .... ok so its called a cap .. whats the thing called that holds the oil ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johan Bornman Posted January 20, 2009 Share Slowbee' date=' these is apparently a variation in the thickness of rotors between certain brake manufacturers. This can affect the "feel" of the lever and the point of contact. I do believe that this is something that will never be picked up by the likes of you nor I. cut cut cut cut [/quote'] One cannot pick up the difference in disc thickness since the space is given up by the brake fluid that is pumped back into the reservoir. Just like the wearing of pads causes no difference in lever travel, so the increased thickness in discs cause no difference in lever travel.

Johan Bornman Posted January 20, 2009 Share Someone said: "Lastly, they are called rotors. Look on any website, from Hope to Avid to Magura to Shimano. They ALL call them rotors. You can safely call them rotors." He or she is of course right. There is no danger or physical harm that will come from using the Americanism. I'm farting against thunder, I know, but principles are principles and fart I shall fart. How can one can a biscuit a cookie, a scone a biscuit and mieliepap, grits? It's just wrong! Drum brakes have drums.Disc brakes have discs. I wonder why the yanks don't call them rotor brakes? Here's the Oxford definition: disc brake ? n. a type of vehicle brake employing the friction of pads against a disc that is attached to the wheel. IIt gets worse: Google will bring up all sorts of Automobile (cars to you and I) dictionaries that all give the same definition. Deep down you'll find rotor. Are websites US-centric? Neverrrrrrr!

bustthesickness Posted January 20, 2009 Share Between myself and Lil'ben I guess we got quite a combination going ...... Juicy 7's with original Avid wavy's (Gobbles like a Turkey!)Juicy 3's with an Avid (non-wavy) The "Avid wavy" design are the 'Polygon' rotors, they are the old design. The "Avid non-wavy" is the 'G2 Clean sweep' design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote'] well seeing that the mountain bike is basically an American invention by Marin County native Gary Fisher in 1979, and that most of the advances in technology in the sport have come from there, I think it's ok to call them by the 'Americanized' name (you'll notice I used a 'z' instead of an 's').

Slowbee Posted January 21, 2009 Share any one know how to tighten the brake lever on the magura louise? the only screw I can see is used to change the reach, and this does not stop it being loose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
