I just ordered a set of wheels from Xtreme machine. They offer both floating and solid rotors. I went with the solid because the entire rotor is polished, where the floater rotor only has a chrome inner ring, and the rotor itself has a dull machine finish.
My question is this, have you experienced any squeeling or warping with your solid rotors?
Has the rotor given decent feedback?
My bike was delivered with floaters, so I don't knowhow the solid reacts.
I would rather stay with the better looking units, and I know you guys will have the answer.
Thanks.
Hey George
Well speaking for myself. I've never tried a bike with
floating rotors but I'm almost 100% sure that they are
better performing rotors hands down. As for my solid
rotors. They perform well enough but what makes them
perform better than the stock set-up is that I put a set
of Lyndall Z-pad brake pads. No squeel and excellent grip.
Hope this helps man.
I have PM floating rotors on my bike and the front one is warped after about 10,000 miles. Can't turn em so you have to buy a new rotor, $$$ for what, another 10k not that happy about it.[:@]
