Basic advise :

Don't foget a drop of glue or silicon to avoid eventual bad surprises.

Original Brembo floating disks are provided with ...

floating rotors definitely help with heat build up, but the main reason for use is to reduce rolling resistance, the brake pads get knocked off the rotors slightly after an application of the brakes which allows the wheel to turn more freely, as well as allowing both the rotor and pad to cool more effectively.

I never heard of that explanation before, for sure one of the –‘s in the extra clearance created by floating discs knocking the pistons back is not good, makes for loose feed back at the brake lever.

Thanks for the fully floating explanation guys. It seems to me that they offer a few advantages under extreme use, but I don't think I'm ever likely to need full floaters at the pace I ride at
