Rear Brake Cooling Fins
I have a bad habit of riding my rear brake too much and it has been overheating. I'm trying to change my riding style, but I also added some cooling fins that seem to help delay rear brake fade. The fin is a really a single piece of 1/8" x 1.5" aluminum bent into a "U" shape and JB-Welded to the rear brake caliper. The JB Weld is a metalized epoxy and the heat conducts well across the glue joint. It definitely keeps the rear brake cooler.

I epoxied on a small one inch by one inch heat sink from radio shack.. can get them for like 5-6 bucks glue it on just like you did with the u shape piece and you'll never overheat the brakes again..

Solid rotor with organic pads, no problems even in south Jersey, with a lot of tail dragging around tight trees. Sintered pads conduct a lot of heat back to the caliper.
