What's this a Ti rotor? No it comes with Ti bolts. What a croc.

    Did you buy it purely because it was titanium? If so, why?

    Ti is a rubbish choice for disc rotors, so they've done you a favour making it out of steel.

    What's your point?

    No I did not buy one.

    All I was alluding to was in the title it says titanium rotor, when it's not, just the bolts. Highly misleading I'd say.

    maybe if you're retarded, it doesn't exactly hide the fact its not Ti, it is listed as titanium because it features Ti bolts, much like you don't expect a RS Recon Gold to actually be made of gold stanchions...

    What's funny is that the only reviewer for that item said:

    " Al from Australia Owner 23 February 2012 02:08

    This item comes with 6 rotor bolts. So dont order extra like I did"

    So he must have also been confused, if the USP of this thing is that it comes with Ti bolts, why order extra bolts :lol:

    People just don't read things properly before buying on the internet, its laziness at best.

    You didn't even buy it, and yet were sufficiently aggrieved that the product name wasn't 100% accurate you started a thread? Too much spare time?

    Cetainly wasn't aggrieved. Infact I don't care just pointing out it's really misleading but you seem to have some time on your hands to visit and revisit this thread. Infact you'll probably even have enough time to comment on this and find some pics spuds on the net to show what a great webbo you are.

    Well it wasn't me, but Googling 'potato' doesn't take very long!

    I'm glad you've bought it to my attention though. I'll remember that next time I buy a product without actually reading what it is I may not get what I expect!

    Good, glad I could be of service to you. The detail is in the small print, but the headline is very misleading, my only point.
  • njee20

    And anyone who buys purely off the headline is a moron. Sorted!

    Well, like has been said, you cared enough to start a thread about it. So take your bitchslap-of-common-sense like a man.
