Could you please provide a link with the weight of a particular floating rotor you are talking about?

 

I dont have a particular link. I just recently upgraded my Shimano XT (full ss) to XT 2010 floating rotors, 180mm at the front.

Brilliant.

I'm using Ashima Airotors,light and work well.And cheap from CRC.

If they are light, they will bend easily. If they are heavy, they will hold true for longer.

 

You can't have your cake and eat it.

My Alligator Windcutters were cheap, about R140ea, lightish, 92gr for 160mm and 61gr for 140mm, and is still straight after quite a few km.

So enlighten me please, what is the difference between the two. I thought that any 2 piece rotor is considered as Floating. Allum centre.

the pretty much look the same but if you shake a floating rotor you hear a rattling sound. the outer and innter bits arent fixed...outer bit "floats"

 

the thing i can never understand - they say its to reduce the heat transfer to the calliper->oil

I thought it was so that the disc is always centre.
