Ebay brake discs

Post by Nelso »

Anyone used them? How crap are they? Are they a waste of money or are they fine?

Just curious. Not about to go out and spend more money but was wondering if they warp, wear etc.

Some people over on another forum are saying that they are OK. No major problems with warping, i guess life span might be an issue, but i dont know anyone who has had them long enough to find out.

Theyre cheap!

We got a pair for the zzr1100 from S3 Performance that look identical to those. Have no complaints about them.
I had a set on the 600 for like, ages and I sold my spare set to someone for his zx6 trackie. Last photo I saw of the track day kids was about 2 weeks ago and I noticed they are still on it.

Our boy Neka just put a set on his Z1000, arrived from China in less than a week, fitted in an hour or so and from the stoppies he was pulling Friday night, working well. time will tell how they last, but so far so good.

Oldmate put a set on his ZXR 7/9 & after less than a thousand Ks one has turned into a full floater (ALL the rivets on 1 disc have come loose)
There are a few bits & bobs from China that I'd put on my bike but definately not brake discs.
Ex T.K.A. ZXR 750 RR
ZXR 7/9 L3 Streetfighter
ZX9 C Trackbike - ex Maccarocks & Slow & Wobbly... still a weapon!

Plus a ZX7 & a few ZXR Ls & ZX9 Bs & Cs in various stages of completion.

I'll second that. I don't think the Chinese have their quality control figured out yet. They can't even make a can opener that works for more than a few months. I would not want to trust my life to a Chinese can opener. If you want a good one Sweden makes fine can openers. Time for anther shot of a brown liquid. Cheers! Wait we're talking about disks.
