Thanks last year I lost my front brakes in a hilly hare scramble for a while then they came back . The floating rotor may help with that situation , so I have been told . Do you have a part number on that disk by chance ? Thanks for the help

This is quoted from grayracer513 from TT.

"Floating rotors do not dissipate heat any better, and in fact maybe worse, being that they don't have a direct conductive path to the hub. What floating does is it prevents, or helps prevent, the rotor from loosing its flatness when it gets hot by not binding it to a rigid center. It also allows a rotor that may actually be deformed by heat to move around on its center so that it tracks straight through the caliper in spite of slight distortions."

You must be pretty damn fast if you got your front brakes hot enough to boil the fluid. Are you sure there wasn't something jammed up in the caliper causing you to lose your brakes? I have had that happen before with something as simple as a stick. A floating/oversized rotor isn't going to help with heat.

I am not sure if I boiled the brakes or what but it was a bummer for sure So in the spirit of the season I may as well try out one with 3 bikes and 3 extra sets of wheels they will not go to waste .

Or he was on a really really really really long hill. We had it happen on 8 bikes riding from Crested Butte to Aspen and back The trail comes down the cat track of Aspen ski mountain.
