Anyone know anything about disc brakes?

Budget? If balling get these, if not get these. Both are very good, I put the cheaper ones on my dads and my bike

These should never be seen on any bike ever

Sorry Turkish

Practical difference?

Weight, and more expensive = quicker cooling so less brake fade on big descents.

big descents

The biggest for @PhilDAS is south of Putney bridge

Freeza will be essential then.

This basically. Unless youre descending in the alps, youre only buying the spenny ones to try get on prolly, which is an entirely valid reason obv

Oh hello @amey, haven't heard from you for a while.
I push up and ride down many hills I'll have you know

Spendy ones it is

I've seen a mechanic using a torch burner thing to decontaminate. Worth trying?

Was this dura ace 140mm rotor just vaporware/promotion graphics?

I cant find a photo of the real thing. ei made in one piece without bolts

Is it a real thing?

Dishwasher on hot with a tab obvs

Fire works but be careful...

Any recommendations for cheap 140 mm 6 bolt rotors? For the cross bike, so they'll get battered.

Just bought a Tektro Lyra which seemed to be one of the only options. Straight and metally, seems to work fine.

Am i able to convert the cable discs on my day one to hydraulics? if so, what is the go'to options?

You can not covert them, but you can change them for a set of hydraulics.
TRP Hylex.

Yes sorry. Change them. Ive got trp spyres atm

One of these? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/STP-Brake-Parts-Heavy-Duty-Cleaner-500-ml-/182718388605?hash=item2a8add597d:g:s6EAAOSwAuZX3pdV

Go Hy/Rd? Less hassle and spendy too!

Moar hassle and less good too.

the cost of hylex gruppo is pretty much on par if not less than hy/rd -

Any reason you lot can think of not to file the bottom 'tab'/dangly thing off these pads?

It's a concern if I pull the wheel forward on my SS (likely) it will jam into the Powertap disc rotor mount.
