So why does a brake rotor for my car cost $30 and one for my bike costs $150?

They don't make as many rotors for your bike as they do for your car.


I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago. Edgar Allan Poe
