I've seen one, and it didn't look that protective, looked cool, but the rotor is still stronger than that plastic.[b]blakef111[/b] wrote:standard on the lapierre 920 Dh http://si6.mtb-news.de/fotos/data/13645/lapierre_dh.jpg
Btw, I've burned my right glove when adjusting the inner pad on my BB5 after the descend. Now, it has a hole on the pointing finger.0 -
the best disc protector is a Brain.
yes they do get hot and yes they can take your fingers off."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

The one on the lapierre is for stones bouncing up not as a heat guard for the rider0

Paul Smith: Three years ago I was riding a steep drop off and then SMACK my bike fell on top of me and I got a disc rotor burn on my face.
Say no to Pain and get the disc rotor shield
NO, NO. NO to pain 0 -
Yup, to protect the rotor from bending on impact with rocks / stones / deep ditches you ride into etc. Not so much as a guard to save the rider from burning / chopping body parts off! Lol.blakef111 wrote:standard on the lapierre 920 Dh http://si6.mtb-news.de/fotos/data/13645/lapierre_dh.jpg
I've seen on the Zesty (and Spicy, perhaps..?), the derailluer guard. What a great invention!! I'm sure it's so the rear mech doesn't get smashed off by said rocks / stones / earth, etc, not just to protect the rider from pinching his pinky, or getting a little oily when he falls off...
Same principle.
Oh, and Naveed, the first time = funny. Second time = annoying and sad... We got you're point, but don't push it too far... (Too late this time, for the record...) Boo-yah mofo

I staggered home and my wife screamed. she said I had lost my good looks and could no longer sexually satisfy her. My life was ruined. I soon lost my job because my work colleagues could no longer stand the sight of me. If I had a disc rotor protector I would have gone on to become a multimillionaire - instead I'm now a garbage man.

I'm actually FAR more annoying and sad than you could possibly comprehend, and WAYYY less funny than you would think possible! Yes, by my own admission too, which is even worse...Naveed wrote:Big Hazard: You're annoying, funny and sad.

And I went to New York? Dammit! Musta been asleep / drugged then! AFAIK, I've never been to America... Boo-yah mofo

Sound like you got rotor pain fella 0 -

Nah.. Don't do rotor burn. I just crash before the rotors get hot. Who needs brakes anyway, that's why God gave us soft shrubbery to land in!Boo-yah mofo

Confession time.
I like to spit on my rotors after a downhill - just to hear that HISS.
Honestley, have you guys done the same or am I living in my own pervy rotor world?0 -

Umm.. I think you're just a little weird, truth be told. If I'm bedding in a new set of pads, or if I've cleaned my rotors up with emery cloth, then after getting them as hot as I can, I'll squirt my Camelback on them... Been doing it for years, and seems to work, so why fix it, if it aint broke!
But no. Just to hear the hiss... I'm not 12 anymore mate! Boo-yah mofo

It's become a habit but makes perfect sense after a 5 minute descent. I always dismount and gob the rotors, that hissing noise is so addictive. I'm sure one day some ramblers will catch me in the act and phone the police. Prob get arrested for lewd conduct. Maybe next time I do it I should wear an LAPD uniform like George Michael for effect. 0

Well, there's worse bodily fluids you could be ejecting onto the discs. :shock:0

That's annoying and sad. Big Hazard earlier on you did write stuff that was funny, but let it be 0 -
Aye, but I'm not going on about it! One funny coment, not (possibly) a million!
Yes, I over-exaggerated it, but you wrote something that was funny the first time, then almost the exact same thing an hour later... Bit sad IMHO.Boo-yah mofo

Not read all of this thread... but how cool a scar would you get if you got branded by your own disc rotor!!! Cool scar! 0

Depends what 'flavour' rotor yu have I guess! The Hope 'Saw' rotor would look pretty cool!Boo-yah mofo

I burned myself on my rotor the other day, but that's because i'm an idiot and touched it after a very long, steep road downhill. I only touched it because my dad wasn't sure if you could burn yourself on a rotor on a push bike.Ribble Gran Fondo

After a decent downhill hill the brakes are definatly hot, although I don't really see the point in a protector.
Theres more worrying things when you're going arse over tit!0
