For modification fans, the brake system is a must-change item, and the original disc or modified disc that the vehicle is equipped with when it leaves the factory is functionally different, how do these differences make you feel differently on the actual ride? This time, I 've sorted out 4 key points about choosing a disc, so that we can be more conceptual when choosing a disc, not just for the sake of change!
What is the secret of the modification of the disc?
1. Type of disc
When we see the four words of disc type, we will definitely think of fixed and floating discs first. Of course, in addition to this method, we can also divide them into three types according to the appearance design: circular disc, spray disc and ventilation disc. Circular disc and spray disc can be easily distinguished from the appearance. Ventilation disc adopts a two-piece design, and the heat dissipation effect brought by purchasing interlayer is common in automobiles, the GOLDWING rear brakes also use this configuration. In addition to the three types of appearance, there are also classifications for materials. The common ones are cast iron and steel. In recent years, there are gradually commercially available composite discs, which have the characteristics of lighter weight and better heat dissipation.
2. Fixed disc and floating disc, silly can't distinguish clearly?
I often hear riders discussing the floating design of the modified disc. What is the difference between this design and the fixed disc?
Fixed disc:
The fixed disc will cause the brake disc to be unable to fully bite due to the compression of the caliper piston, causing the brake force to drop. Therefore, when installing, the disc should be centered between the two discs as much as possible to reduce This situation.
Floating Disc:
As the name implies, when the caliper piston is squeezed, the floating buckle on the inner and outer layers of the disc allows the disc to slightly offset laterally, so that the disc can fully bite the disc and achieve a strong braking performance.
