I agree on the centerline rotors being 💩
The loosening of the bolts and squeezing of the lever helps sometimes otherwise once the pistons and pads are centred ….eyeballing is better…sometimes using a shim or two as well ☺️
you're right to use a shim ... ano brake instead of a S-RAM one. Or buy trickstuff stuff, if you have to much money. They are in a different league from everything shown here.
Unconvinced, there are no mtb rotors that are actually floating (play in the rivets) and heat is not nearly as big of an issue. Al spider rotors are slightly better in terms of resisting warping but that's about it. If it were truly an easy performance gain you'd expect to see them in all of the big players' lineups (sram, trp, certainly galfer) and on every dh bike
The brand new SRAM centerline X are are floating. Well, to your point they are technically “semi-floating”
I came across some some rotors from zeno that claim to be more floating but is dont know enough to say that they are
I used to have centerlines on my kona operator but i switched them out a few months ago for that same pair of hope rotors and ive never been happier. They're way more grippy and so far i haven't had them run hot on me or squeak
I used the hopes and the very cheap floating rotors you find on ali, both have way better results than ice tech or 2mm galfers.
If you're looking for another efficient option is going solid but with more mass and thickness, 2.3mm + but yeah these B are heavy 😂
dont forget before you tighten the bolts to "pre load" the disk but twisting it counter close wise so the disk doesnt slip after everything is tight.
Great point!
Magura MDR-P?
The turbo levo I got has those centerline rotors, and honestly, they don't seem impressive, especially for a 200mm rotor. My front rotor also came slightly bent, so I've ordred a pair of the hope floating rotors, so I hope they make a difference.
You’ll love them. I’ve never met anyone who doesn’t.
@phoxrides I've got a question what type of material do you have on your break pads? I've ordered some for mine and the breaking strength has gone to literally 0. I took it to the bike shop and they looked at it and even checked for contamination but they're thinking it's the pad material
Trickstuff Dächle!
as he puts his fingers on the part of the rotor you don't want finger oils on... ;)
🤣 first thing I noticed. Too funny
Its not a big deal unless you never wash your hands. Or just ate a fried chicken. Plus a little brake clean makes it GTG.
grease police 🤣🥳
@@phoxrides doesn’t matter. You always have oil ‘s on your fingers.
@@pedallinraw ha.
Stop touching the rotors with your finger tips
It’s not that big of a deal unless you have greasy fingers. Plus. Brake cleaner.
@@phoxridesIt’s the grease police 🤣🤗🥳
Ive ridden bikes for 4 plus decades. Pedal as well a motocross and streetbikes.
Also have a ton of track experience on both street and track.
This is a wash. Bikes and even ebikes dont weigh anywhere near as much as a motorcycle and my KTM Duke is much faster in 1st gear than any either a bike or an ebike.
This whole comparison is laughable.
This is a terrible comparison and shows a lack of understanding.
1. You are comparing floating rotors to fixed rotors-apples and oranges.
2. SRAM centerline X and XR are both floating rotors and used on pro bikes today, both road and mountain.
3. Shimano XT and XTR are also floating rotors and their Ice-tech technology are first class among enduro and downhill due to them being 3 layers, aluminum sandwich between 2 outer steel plates.
4. Floating rotors are not there to dissipate heat like you said, that is just a nice side-effect just like suspension on a bike is not designed for your comfort but for wheel tracking. A floating rotor is to allow the metal to flex under constant high heat to prevent warping.
5. You do NOT need floating rotors on your bike, motorcycle or car for good braking. 99% of vehicles purchased use a fix rotor design and they go much, much faster than any bike.
6. I can’t speak on the quality of Hope-they are popular-but both SRAM and Shimano use a coating on their rotors to prevent rusting which IMHO is more important because a contaminated rotor will not mate well with the pads and there diminish braking power.
7. Lastly, there are the pads and calipers to contend with so rotors are only one component of braking.
