All for the love of science mate. You can't expect Norman Einstein here to experiment on himself, can ya?You did take out a life insurance on her, didn't you?
I have been using a similar brand six-hole with no issues except they seem to be louder somehow. Not squeaking but noisily
Probably no chamfers on any of the holes in the baking surface.

Is that what it is? I noticed those fuckers will slice you up given half a chance. Do you think it's worth getting that edge off? I sort of notice what Daisycutter was talking about as well, not noisy but not quiet.
Yeah break those sharp edges with something and it’ll quiet down. Sand paper or a file will do it.
Cheers Leafy, I'll give it a go.
Would use do it?
Maybe. And maybe only some edges.
I bought a set of those but didn't end up using them, only because i wanted something thicker and saw that ztto now have a 2.3mm rotor out. I sold them on but impressions of those zrace rotors were really good. How are they going?
As previously mentioned they're not as good as Shimano rotors but you wouldn't expect them to be. Once I take Leafy's advice and file off the sharp edges I'll report back.
Other than the edges what makes you say they're not as good (forgive my ignorance but i've literally setup my first bike with hydro brakes so have very little frame of reference)?
These are the ones I bought:
No complaints so far. They won't do pig squeals and the lack of pad rub in comparison to the original Formula ones I had before is a huge improvement.

I'd hate to know how many minutes Magura MT pads would last on a rotor like that.
If I'd characterize the Shimano icetech rotors and finned pads as being whisper quiet all the time, at least in my experience, then the Zrace rotors aren't that. Not noisy by any stretch but not as smooth for want of a better word. Shimano rotors have been really durable for me too and that remains to be seen with these el-cheapos.
Right cheers. I've been wondering about metal hardness etc on these ali rotors. Obviously that'll affect durability, and maybe noise?
These are the ones i'm using.
Only have about 8hrs on them but they've been good so far. Quite heavy. The rear warped slightly (like .3mm in a small section) but i think that was my fault as i didn't set the calliper up right when i rebuilt it. Need to fix that as it's howling and vibrating.
Might try these also as they're 2mm thick.
Yeah the durability is likely questionable and I wouldn't be surprised if these rotors are only really suitable for resin pads. Still I'd be happy with them being merely adequate considering the price, as I say it's an experiment.
@Loki87 bought and installed some. Mine is collecting dust in the bike hole.
Do you have a link for it?
Holding up strong. No cuts, glue still works. Can still recommend.
I got this and rode with it tonight. Light years better than what came on my Tyee. Silent now. The raised rubber sections are so soft though. They almost feel like they’re filled with liquid. Strange. But took a beating today. Well worth the five dollars.
I ended up buying some mastic tape for $40 to cover the few cm's of frame that were getting clanged by the chain. Oh well...
Just got two of those thing from aliexpress, might as well for $10.
I also got a big ass kite. Will it actually fly?

The ZTTO dropper lever has bearing that at least in my installation is pointing fully open upwards. It's collecting all the water in to the bearing. Not a problem if you ride only in dry conditions.
Long term review: these clear glasses have been great.
I was at a trailhead the other day and some guys were discussing their $80-$150 pairs. So I said hey I have the same thing and they were only $4 shipped.
But yeah, for the price they are good. I've wiped them with my crusty shirt and they don't seem to scratch extremely easy. They also have adequate air flow, so they de-fog quickly.
I have a few pairs floating around now.
The only downside is that there is no padding on the ear pieces, so that might annoy some people. I have a shaded version, which I used once for driving (lost my regular pair) and while sitting in the car they got annoying, but out on the trail with a helmet on I don't notice.
Is this a still from Bladerunner 2197?Why pay $146 moar to look this good?
Don't hate, just because you live somewhere the sun doesn't shine.Why pay $146 moar to look this good?
digging the $4 shades...
I wish there were $4 mtb handguards on there too.
