How cool is this **slight geek alert**
« on: December 24, 2015, 01:50 PM »
Got a very grubby and unasuming rotor in the post today, it was a make i had never seen before so i had to have it for the museum.
It was seized and black with crap but a long soak and scrub with wd40 started to reveal something very interesting.

As i took it apart it became aparent that it was set up in a similar way to an ACS pro rotor but with one difference.




It has a return spring built in it to help the whole thing run smoother and assist the brake spring  :)








Well happy for $10  :daumenhoch:

Result and a bargain too. Would be interesting to see how well it worked. I would still love a M Zone spinner which I had as a kid, was such a good design, better than any I have seen... worked so well due to its slim profile...The diameter was half that of a rotor!  :daumenhoch:
