Quote: I think it's about time they got rid of the dual disc front brakes. The only advantage is better heat dispersment, (which matters during 2 up, steep downgrade, riding if you're in the wrong gear). I love the new wheels and think they deserve to be shown off. It drives me nuts to see a custom wheel hidden behind a big, ugly disc brake getting covered with brake dust. I would never give up braking performance to look better, but the stopping distance remains unchanged.
I both agree and disagree with this. I agree about hiding the wheel but as far as heat dispersement goes I think that is a good thing.I hear about BAs having warped rotors but not so much on the SM. I know Wendy had a warped rotor but mine are fine. As far as I have seen most if not all warped rotors have been on the single disced bikes. I like the perimeter disc that allows you to see the wheel with the disc around the outside of the rim.
