We all know that brake pads wear, but what about rotors? 🤔
Yes! And probably faster than you might think…
✅Quite a few factors contribute to rotor wear: Pad material, riding conditions, riding style and bike/rider weight to mention just a few.
✅Metallic pads, crappy weather, gravity riding and heavy bikes (e-bikes or bikepacking) all increase wear on your long suffering brake rotors.
✅Generally speaking, the minimum thickness of a rotor before replacement is recommended is 1.5mm. That’s about 15 sheets of paper - not a lot, but rest assured they are designed to still be safe at this thickness. If you look on a ruler though, that’s pretty thin so it’s wise to replace as soon as they approach this figure 👍
✅Most riders tend to use the rear brake more, so that’s the one that usually gets to minimum first👍
✅Brake rotor thickness is checked as part of a standard service at ElevateMTB, but if you have a vernier at home it’s an easy check you can do yourself!👍

Buxton at its best! ☀️ 🤩
Couple of trees down on Boobook but otherwise a clear run. Top of Acheron is really sweet!👌
Heaps of swamp wallabies around, including one completely white one…

Do you have the standard Fox Float X? Did you know it can be easily upgraded to the same functional level as the factory version? Well you do now!
It’s a pretty cheap but worthwhile step up in adjustability and performance, definitely worth a look👍👍
The new low speed compression dial gives you 12 clicks of damper adjustment where previously it was set at the midway position (6). This gives you more options to tailor your compression resistance to be more active or supportive, as your riding style requires.
I prefer a more active rear wheel and upgrading the damper has made a noticeable difference to rear wheel bump sensitivity and I’m able to load up the suspension better in corners and ramps for more fun!🤩
Get in touch if you would like to know more👍👍
