GoLefty!! Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 how are you warping discs during attachment? Why doesn't my motard have some sort of centre lock thingy then if it's so much better? they don't warp during attachment. They warp in use due to incorrect installation of the rotor bolts.And even if they are correctly installed, they still unwind and therefore lose clamping force allowing the rotor to move in use.

[/quote'] So learn how to install properly. Unwind during use? Don't cyclists know about some sort of anaerobic threadlocker? Loctite? I mean, seriously, Loctite on the motard, and they don't unwind, and I assume, in my ignorance, that the forces that would cause unwinding are appreciably higher on the motard? Oh, wait, I just read on the park tool website, they say a dry, or aerobic thread locker for calliper bolts, is often used, but then they recommend a anaerobic one anyway...TNT12010-01-04 10:24:45
GoLefty!! Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 and you fully trust someone to head out and buy which one? Whatever the hardware store sales person gives them. Do you exepect a rushed mechanic to remember a few drops of threadlocker? very few do... Yes do it yourself but centrelock just makes the whole process simpler and no need to remember the thread lock. Your Motard, are pimp ass light weigh made from unobtanium rotors available for it? Did'nt think so...
TNT1 Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 pimp ass light weight rotors? What's 99% of mtb rotors made out of?
TNT1 Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 oh, and diy? ya, I shop for bike bits at cajees and westdene (or if I can find em cheeper elsewhere...), and not one of my bikes has seen the inside of a bike shop since I bought them, guess that helps...
GoLefty!! Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 is this a trick question....? 60% of mine are aluminium and he other 40% is steel. then I have 100% steel sets and 100% titanium set I think i have a set of 100% phenolic resin/carbon fibre mix rotors somewhere as well
TNT1 Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 Yeah, but you're a bit of an mtb ponce... On motorbikes you get stainless, carbon, Carbon fiber-reinforced silicon carbide, and of course ceramic...
