    Arent they allimuniniumumumumum? as apposed to steel?

    That would mean they would be more prone to heat and warping and wear wouldnt it? I'm not a wizz someone may know.

    This is from da Cyclebrakes site.

    Laser cut (not stamped) to assure no stress to the material
    Made of a unique high carbon content steel (420ss) for higher friction
    Pre-heat treated so that the rotor is less likely to warp
    Double, parallel disc grinded and diamond finished for perfect flatness

    Your right......You aint a wizz

    where is hitcher when most needed?

    Sorry must be another kit - was reading about it on some dirty american site, think they were petal race disks, which makes no sense maybe a ally compound mix with something, because ally wouldnt be good at all I think?

    Of course you could just get some made in NZ cheaper, dont have to be a wiz to figure that out
    Might have to send the disks to fgb so they get the pattern matched but they have a 5 day turn around.

    I can get you fgb's number if you want.

    I know one of my mates had a pair on and he had no complants, although his bike didnt last long wasnt the brakes fault, just lowsiding at speed

    I think they offer a 3 month full warrenty or more? I think they are doing fairly well for themselves at the moment, I dont know if any one has had any problems with them, I havnt heard any bad stories myself, good luck either way.
