| Re: What do we know about these ebay wave rotors At the price these guys are selling those rotors it wouldnt hurt to pick em up and see, hell at that price, even if they were crap they could still look sexy hanging on a wall or something...
I personally never skimp on my brakes, they are pretty much the only other thing that I dont feel bad about spending cash on other than riding gear. Skimping on brakes can lead to some pretty bad consequences, worst case being the rotor cracks, gets warped and catches on your caliper sending you and your pretty ride into the air others are it could just warp and then you get crappy braking.
I'm not saying that all chinese imitations are bad, its just that they dont have the same regulations that legit manufacturers have to maintain to keep their asses out of the courtrooms. There have been some pretty nice imitation stuff from china that I've seen on bikes and cars, but in my case when it comes to my bike, im kinda like a chick with her Versace handbag, I like the names, Brembo, Galfer, and BrakeTech are pretty much the only stuff i would touch.
On a side note, after looking at the BrakeTech Ceramic Matrix Discs, I have only one question, has anyone ridden with carbon ceramic discs and are the differences between Iron and the ceramics really noticeable, or are they something that only that elite 1-2% of riders will ever need? |
