DownhillingKing Posted July 20, 2010 Share Could you please provide a link with the weight of a particular floating rotor you are talking about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMC007 Posted July 20, 2010 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johan Bornman Posted July 20, 2010 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMC007 Posted July 21, 2010 Share picture posted by DMC007 : shimano rotors are not floating they have only a different spider and desing . So enlighten me please, what is the difference between the two. I thought that any 2 piece rotor is considered as Floating. Allum centre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mellow Posted July 21, 2010 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreZA Posted July 21, 2010 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
