Love the red color on the Ashima rotor..just afraid it might be too much on the stealthy black/red build, cause I'm probably gonna try to get some sort of red decals on my Fork as well.
Thoughts?
red or black?

Its really hard to say, the red is there and it goes with your theme, but black would add to your "stealth" idea. i think the best way to decide would be to install them and wait untill you get your fork decals and whatnot and then just photoshop the rotor black, and see which you prefer. unless you really prefer one over another, in that case just go with your gut. ill be making the same decision soon but between blue and black.

Thanks for the input. I went with normal raw finish (paint them black soon) was 1) they were $15 EACH for a 203mm rotor when normal price is 24-30 per rotor as I would have had to wait 3-4weeks + pay $50+. Instead, this guy has a huge stock and selling them cheap. All perfect, new, surprisingly a lot more burly/stiff than I expected.

Yeah you're right. Ice-Tech's have been the most effective rotor for me so far, I've tried probably 8 other types and they are the best. They also look cool. If it needs to have a red inner part it could be rattle-can painted, professionally done with an air gun or even anodized if the metal is the right kind.

I have 1x icetech rotor atm, but want something possibly lighter (and cheaper hah), so been trying others out. From what I heard these rotors shed heat super fast due to so little material lol. If they keep heat off quickly I'll be happy. We'll see! Thanks, gonna order raw then get change em to black, if they don't work well, just gonna stick with icetech.

Nopee, almost ready to look for a wheelset. Have a few options but won't be trying anything untill a little while. You?

Yeah, but the build atm is not full (obviously lol), but gonna have more bits of red yet still maintain a good stealth look.
Only problem is that people only make the older Totem decals in red and not the new ones. Thought about it and Totem decals = loud + red = loud = a lot of red/attention grabby + the red rotor is probably gonna be too much. Thanks btw
