Hi which is the best type of rotor. Or does it depend on the size instead of the shape

    They make little difference in braking power.

    Some are lighter some may get rid of heat better some may wear out pads quicker than others.

    But what are you really wanting to know?

    Errr no, wavey or saw shaped ones are pretty much identical in performance, so you're wrong.

    Nope, applies to discs and wheels as well, not to mention bearing races......

    Round wheels are right up there with 29ers for me.
