Well so the story goes but does anyone know anyone, not a friend of a friend, who has had a disc explode.
Anyway I have just bought them so I intend to fit them for next season. They are so much better than any stainless ones I have ever used, especially with the four pad callipers.

I'm fairly sure there was someone in the DSC it happened to. Within the last 18 months i think.

I have only ever seen one picture. and that was on this board.
however you can not buy cast iron discs any more from brembo
make of that what you will

As anodising etches into the material will the carriers not be slightly thinner after the old anodising has been removed, if so the side play on a fully floating disc may be excessive, Just worth thinking about

As Nelly says... I did the lot a couple of years ago as they where getting quite loose and you can buy diffferent size shims to take away some slack.

I cant fault them but you must use soft pads as it seems the ones that have 'exploded??' were probably due to overheating / hard pads??maybe??

Re - anodising alli parts never gives the same finish as the original.
The results are unpredicatable, and you may get a finish you dont like.
doing it again, will have no effect on the thickness.

Well if they are good enough for moto GP they are good enough for me. Just keep a close eye on the discs and check for cracks.
