New discs

[Paxovasa]

I have had to bite the bullet and have just bought these:

Anyone had any experience of these discs, if so would like to hear what you thought.

I'm going to need some this year so I'd be interested too. Like that they're black as well.

I will update you when the arrive and when I have fitted them, I will be using sintered pads.

I'll likely need discs at some point, front are ever so slightly warped and my rear has some wierd ridges, most likely from grit getting caught in there im guessing.

Last week or so iv been looking at a few companies that sell new discs fairly cheap:

Armstrong
ABE
Blackshadow https://blackshadow-uk.com/default.aspx

But googling has given up mixed reviews, be good to know what you think of them after a few months etc

[Paxovasa]

I was thinking of using blackshadow, I had my eye on the ones below. But decided to go with the above ones.

I can understand why you put them off, discs are so friggin' expensive! can get car ones for £25 a set. I know there is a lot more to a bike disc though. They look good to me

ALways wondered how do you know or how can you tell what disc is better or not to another?

They are both round and appear to be symmetrical, the only problem I could foresee is that they appear to be worth a fraction over what I would pay for your bike, and you of course may have to do some cleaning in order to fit them, then you would have clean bits on your bike, and you can't just have clean bits, it all needs to be clean, no just clean in certain areas, clean all over, yep yep yep needs to be cleaned.

But dirt is dirty, and dirty bikes are unhappy bikes, and we don't like unhappy bikes.

Hmmm maybe we should start a campaign to get the filth wizard Pax to clean his bike

[Paxovasa]

Avoid these ones!!!!

Front left disc has warped.

That's a bugger. I need new discs and was looking at ABE. Hopefully they'll be better. I think Tot has used them before and recommended them.

Out of interest. What condition and age are your callipers? Did you check/replace the seals, pitting on the pistons? Did you clean your callipers in the 8 months you had the discs? Also what sort of riding do you do? Fast, heavy on the brakes, all weather? How many miles did you put on them?

Just trying to get an idea of what, if any, torture you put these discs through to judge quality.

Cleaned the calipers and put new pads in when fitted the new discs, done about 3000 miles since they have been on. Most miles have been commuting but I have done some hard riding when out with mates.

Calipers are the original, the bike is a 2003 model.

I have cleaned the calipers during the 8mths, but I do think the piston is a little pitted and needs replacing. I use the bike in all conditions.
