    Why do you want floating rotors ?

    be aware they do not work with all forks. and can catch on the forks abd the tabs on the pads will catch on the join between the braking surface and the carrier.

    also it will not improve your braking.

    they are lighter though and look pretty cool. especially in blue. check out my merlin for the proof... :wink:
    I said hit the brakes not the tree!!

    I was just doing a bit of work on my bike last night after a ride and noticed that the rear rotor was slightly warped so just thought i would go for a bit of an upgrade like Clarkson said they look good, but seen as nick was saying it may cause problems i'm not so sure now :?

    Its most likely warped from being hit (either on the trail or when transporting it)
