I figured it was time I sorted through my stack of boxes that were starting to clutter the office. Big shout out to those of you who give me the odd heads up or in a few cases, helped get bits shipped over here
For me the rotor is synonymus with freestyle and as a big freestyle fan it seemed a logical and relatively affordable item to collect.
It's by no means complete and a few I own are currently sat on bikes but I reckon I am around 6-8 away from a pretty much comprehensive collection. An RGD would be one of those
from the top left: (doubles have been left out)
White "daisy" rotor. These came stock on a few lower end completes like columbias but also some Kuwaharas apparently
Skyway Spinmaster II. A nice bit of kit and difficult to find in nos condition these days
Skyway spinmaster I. Easier to find nos than its later incarnation
Fishbone UFO. A clean looking, late, prodominantly mid school system which ultimately was overshadowed by the Gyro
Kit Apex. A little known rotor that seems well made. Also available badged up as a Norco
Acs Pro. A nice refinement of the standard Acs rotor. Runs smooth but requires a little maintenance to get the best out of it
Skika. This design is found stickered under a few names. Simple but effective.
Tioga max flo. Part of their max flo range, these rotors came in a variety of colours to match the other parts in the range
A1. I dont know a great deal about these but i suspect they may be a later model of an A1 rotor which has a checkerboard decal
TT racing jam buttie. A mod i came up with a while back which converts a standard Jam buttie anti tweek into a rotor
Columbia. This shares the same design as a Skika and one or two other brands like Legal Action
Rump Rider. This novel idea is basically a spring to assist your rotor returning back to a non braking position
Polygon. An interesting mushroom shape these were found stock on some Schwinn freestylers
Tange spin ex. A lovely compact rotor which is much smaller than its counterparts
Aquilla. An early model which i have seen stickered up as other brands
Aquilla MkII. A much more robust follow up to its predecessor, spins well
Tange Spin Z. One of my favourites. It has a drilled lower plate to reduce weight
Speedwell Spinner. Another favourite. Beautifully hand made and british these have a built in flex fighter as well as individual clamp on upper and lower cable guides
Hurricane. An odd little thing i sourced in France. Made completely from plastic they are found in black or white and spin on ball bearings. Found on some MBK's
Axiom. Another ball bearing rotor. A very simple design that works really well.
