Caution Brake rota

[Guest Metta]

Hi all, just a word of caution. I bought a cheap chinese front disc rota from THE auction site. I`ve done 30k on it and has cracked from the milled holes in the rota to the outside edge in two places and can see another couple where it`s starting. Original Honda rotas are expensive,  EBC or Galfer  I`ve used before and have lasted well and a lot cheaper.

My local bike shop has had a few cases of owners who bought cheap discs and fitted them themselves coming in to the shop after a few thousand miles wondering why they were looking the worse for wear. He has kept a couple of them he has taken off to show people who ask him about getting cheap discs to save some cash.

The old adage "You get what you pay for" is as relevant today as always. Except with Aldi Really Nutty Muesli of course

It's really lovely though. Loads of nuts. Is this a motorbike forum?

OK, but I DID say it REMINDS me, not that it is/was!
