My bike is a bit boring colour wise, mainly black and white with a splash of red here and there (i have a white front wheel not red)

Image

So im thinking of blinging it up a bit with a bit of colour coding on some of the parts with a bit of Anodised red to add a bit more red and colour to it. Im thinking of replacing the Shimano centerlock rotors with these to start with....

Image

maybe a stem or handle bars to follow (handle bars are white stem is black at the mo)

your thoughts please :D

Coloured streamers for bars could slow you down tho...

Its going to be covered in mud soon

Nothing wrong with a bit of bling :ugeek: :ugeek: :ugeek: as long as it serves a purpose and of course colour matches the bike...

The floating rotors will look nice mate, have to watch they dont rub on your forks as was looking at getting some myself but have found they dont get on with Fox forks as rub on the caliper mount..

Superstar components seem to be a popular place to get them and well priced...

Superstar components no good to me harry they only sell the bolt on disks, my disks are centre lock discs, they dont bolt on, they lock lock into the hub.

Floating rotors shouldnt rub on your forks if you replace with the same size rotor, I think people have had issues with the 36mm forks and the rivets rubbing slightly due to them being fater than the 32mm you got. To get round it they file a mil off the caliper by lower mounting point and i think its Hope rotors that have been the problem (so i read)
