Title: How cool is this **slight geek alert**
Post by: oldschoolace 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 :)

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:
