Another worthless thread.

What he is saying is that full floating rotors are designed to float in their carriers and that they get brake dust and road grime packed in their and cause them to freeze up...I have personally never liked full floaters cause they do require maintenance and they are noisy. When I have used them in racing applications I clean them while I am cleaning the calipers with Brake contact cleaner and a tooth brush. Most street bikes are semi-floaters and this won't really apply...

What's the benefit from full-floaters anyway?

Yeah baby!Floating rotors cancel out alot of the centrifugal forces of the front wheel. When attached solidly they (rotors) lose contact slightly with the pads as the wheel spins and twists. The wheel is torquing around the rotor inside the caliper. Floaters are designed to stay flush with the pads inside the calipers allowing for maximum friction.

hey,wasn't there something about heat dissipation? Good job explaining that SM! I need to clean mine out actually. Oh and I'd imagine he's talking about a half inch nut and bolt. Of course,I don't know if he means a 5/16 bolt and nut which typically uses an 1/2" wrench or if he means an 1/2" bolt and nut which uses a 5/8" wrench....blah,blah,blah.....
