Here
Brand new wavy disc for under £50? I thought genuine standard discs were near £100?
Seems a bargain to me! ____________________ Summer: '00 Honda CB600F Hornet

Rear discs are cheaper as theres next to nothing to them.
Cant see the point in wavey discs either but each to their own. ____________________ If you dont like the way that I ride.......Stop trying to keep up!!! |

AFAIK the only improvement they have over 'standard' discs is a slight reduction in (unsprung) weight and gyroscopic forces - but i sincerely doubt there are many riders on here good enough to notice the slight difference. I believe they originated on MX bikes where the wavey shape is used to clean dirt & debris from the pads - on a road bike this has the sole effect of eating through pads at an increased rate.
Again AFAIK they may actually reduce braking performance by a slight amount because there is less surface area there for the pads to bite on - again, i doubt there are many on here who'd be able to notice the small difference.
IMHO the only thing they offer to a roadbike is that they look pretty trick - but personally i'll be sticking with my 'standard' shape discs. ____________________ Space Monkey #7
