Upgraded the standard 160mm front to a nice new floating rotor in 180mm

After initial order mess up (wrong parts sent grrrr) I sorted it today.. so ready for some trail bashing tomorrow at Epping....

Off with the old


And on with the new


Now looking looooooooooovly.....

Is it a superstar one ?. Im thinking of getting some newies, my current ones are very 'hollow' (i.,e not much metal) which are light but perhaps Im losing stopping power ?. They sometimes glaze up (well the pads) which is annoying, although worked well on my trip to Morzine, I wore through two sets of pads too !.

Yep Superstar one.... I like the kit they do and good prices as well...

Sweet - is the spider anno or painted?

Yep..Im a fan of their stuff too, currently have Supersta wheels, bolt through rear axle, seatpost and I love their new Excel extra wide, extra long grips..pity i lost a bar end on a crash in Les Gets.....'normal' grips now feel wierd n skinny !

Andy

They are anno

Going to get one for the rear, but will stick to 160mm. Brakes hardly squealed today (well the front anyway)

I had a low speed rubbing squeak today but I've got organic pads in atm so not ideal for bog crossings and wading!

I've got some sintered pads on order (well they sent wrong ones firstly) have these in my HT Avids and they have lasted a while, also don't squeal like the std OEM fitted ones...
