Re: one i made earlier

you will probablyu note that your brake isnt actually as good as the venting in the disc does more than just look pretty, it also keeps the pads cleaner, where as you will get a build up of caked on cr4p on this one, it also allows heat to disapate from both pads and disc and also allows the worn pad material to escape, you will just heat the pads up and and disc causing pad glazing and the heat will just cook any filth onto both bud

cross drilling a light pattern into your disc would eleviate alot of this from happening which you may want to consider

Re: one i made earlier

He made a solid one because the mud and grit he goes through gets caught in the vents and chews through his pads, a solid disk should stop that.
He'll run it, see how it goes.

Wavey shape and vents are on the cards if this one's ok.

Re: one i made earlier

Cool idea, but probably wont work once it gets wet.

If it was really better than a cross drilled / grooved disc, then why arent all the new MX bikes coming off the production line with these!


MotoGP bikes run solid discs like this, but that is on their dry bikes.
They have maybe 5 grooves on each disc. That is it.

Re: one i made earlier

You can buy solid rotors for most dirt bikes, used mainly in muddy conditions. Increases pad life because there's no where for the mud/stones to get caught.

Re: one i made earlier
