Stupid, anyone who knows anything would use a tri-axial reuleaux.
Did you think your brake rotor couldn't have poor gas mileage, consume oil, and require a detailed rebuild every 100 miles? Think again, the future is here with the new reuleaux rotor.

:rofl:


Friend of mine has an RX-7. It has to be the most god-awful, unreliable pile of sh!t ever.

The rotor looks sorta solid, normally the holes are all in positions so the pads are kept clean.

I wonder if when force is applied the sweeping action of the rotor through the pad would give a normal(ish) braking feel? I have no other idea why you would do it and would assume it would chew pads out pretty hard.

I think it would have a pulsating feel to it, wouldn't it? RotoR uphill, these rotors for downhill!
