Re: Wavey Disks

My Braking waveys had done about 55k miles. Very pleased with them. The other advantage is that they are supposed to resist warping.

MCN tested them a few years ago, and whilst the braking distances were no better, in fact slightly worse the lap times were better.

That's the reason I got them on my CBR. I warped the OE ones and the Galfers I got to replace them were only £40 more than the stock ones. I'm a tart so got the funky looking ones.

Re: Wavey Disks

Just don't get the cheap ones from eBay. I have seen one fail badly and heard of a few more horror stories.

Personally I think OEM ones are perfectly adequate.

I've read all of that several times, and I can still just see "ker-ching!"
