ilikemybike011, i'm not sure. I couldn't find any info as to what brake it was but if you ask me it looks like a mutated Magura Gustav.

haha saw a picture a while back in mountain bike action this girl got her brake super hot and at the end of the run she accidentally leaned her calf against the rotor and now as a 'avid' tattoo burned into her

well after a few years riding (if thats a floating rotor) they should have noticed after 6 months of me riding it that the rivets come mega loose.. anyone else had this problem?

glory4ever (Apr 16, 2008 at 9:22)

"hmmm, i wonder if i stick my finger in there.....o, never mind..."

Thats pretty cool though, hate to see a real world condition to make a rotor glow like that.

bsmith (Feb 10, 2008 at 20:58)

put a xc rider on a dh bike and thats what you will get.

slopes0and0style, that's been established, thanks.

codyloveskona (Feb 8, 2008 at 20:32)

bet the braking power uck onces it that hot, but they use a diffrent piston matirial phenolic to keep the heat from the caliper

cooldudethatate (Feb 16, 2008 at 14:21)

Well i stuck my finger into a normal bike wheel and that cut it stight off so i guess if that cut it off i wouldnt even find it it would fly so far.

braderz (Sep 30, 2008 at 8:35)

doesn't anyone else think its the hope floating rotors ? (black)

pdee (Apr 22, 2009 at 12:47)

reminds me of a pic of ken block's car, where you can see the brake is a glowing red while he's driving.

jackariusjones (Feb 8, 2008 at 20:42)

i wonder if i could do that with an old rotor on a motor and a mono mini caliper ...hmmmm......... good pic thoo

dh-pete (Feb 9, 2008 at 12:17)

lexx (Feb 15, 2008 at 21:59)
