Rotor is good for semi literate posters as well. It's the same backwards.

Its a Disc

Definition of disc

coins were made by striking a blank disc of metal
a man’s body with an identity disc around the neck
(disk) an information storage device for a computer in the shape of a round flat plate which can be rotated to give access to all parts of the surface. The data may be stored either magnetically (in a magnetic disk) or optically (in an optical disk such as a CD-ROM).
a CD or record.
(discs) one of the suits in some tarot packs, corresponding to coins in others.
2an object or part resembling a disc in shape or appearance:
the smudged yellow disc of the moon
(also intervertebral disc) a layer of cartilage separating adjacent vertebrae in the spine:
he suffered a prolapsed disc
Botany the central part of the flower of a daisy or other composite plant, consisting of a close-packed cluster of tubular florets.

as a definition of a rotor is
ro·tor (rtr)
n.
1. A rotating part of an electrical or mechanical device.
2. An assembly of rotating horizontal airfoils, as that of a helicopter.


Stating its either a rotating horizontal airfoils , as that of a helicopter which its not at all.
Or it is a rotating part of an electrical device which its not , the rotating part of a mechanical device is not to clear either as its fixed to a wheel that makes it rotate. So it does not rotate interdependently so its basically a disc fixed to a wheel......

ps its definitely a DISC

You love to quote shite in the aim of proving your point.

You can quote whatever you like, the fact remains that they are rotors in the context of mountain bikes, like it it lump. Fact.

can I jus point out that I have MECHANICAL disc brake's so according to this mine are rotor's

Chunkers1980

Hydros are also mechanical in that sense by the way. Oh and it is rotors, and just has a t.

step83

Im a bike noob ill admit, but i call them rotors like everyone else. OK its technically American English but its the standard name for the thing.
They are called a rotors because they rotate which is why when it was fitted to a Chrysler Crown Imperial which is often credited as the first car to use this system they were called brake rotors and the term stuck within the motor trade. Its like people call vacuum cleaners hoovers, its not the correct name but the one everyone knows them as.

cooldad

I call them rotors so they are rotors. Simple as. No argument. EOT.

cooldad

Unless I decide to call them cabbage.

Its a rotor. An engineer would call it a rotor so its a rotor.

cooldad

Well if you would call it a rotor, it must be a disc.

mcnultycop

This is what the Internet was invented for.

I am not 12 thanks i am 25, this is a light hearted tit for tat thank you..............
As that person said in a thread his DISC brakes are ROTORS it does not make sense, the DISC brake does not rotate freely its fixed to a wheel! Which rotates, a rotor is apart of a helicopter somthing that rotates freely.We could go on for ever,I know I am English threw and threw. To me they are DISC BRAKES, name me one shop or MTB professional that says they are ROTOR BRAKES give over, It just does not sound right at all. There is no need to get offensive either .RockmonkeySC.
When a person resorts to personal insults whilst debating it normally means they have lost. I am not the one being picky or childish it was started by some one else picking up on the fact there apparently rotors and not disc brakes, To be honest I do not give a S :evil: :twisted: T what they are just do not like people being pretentious it annoys the hell out of me................

That's (unintentionally) funny as f**k.

My understanding of a helicopter is that the blades ate attached to an engine or something, but not being an expert I'm open to suggestion that they are powered by fairy dust or something.

Ps no one said rotor brakes. They are brake rotors. Unless of course they are discs.

So you have a problem with rotor being an Americanism, which at least is correctly spelt, but you are OK with thru, which is simply illiterate?
Contradict yourself much?

Any way as i said i do not really care what people call it if you look back i was the one being penalised

cooldad

But you do care. You care a lot. You can feel the stress levels rise, that little vein pounding in your forehead.
It's a rotor.

The Rookie

You missed the subliminal miss-spelling using disk as a way of expressing his feelings for you CD!

cooldad

Disck or rotor?

CUBEical

How did you know begginer ? Was it that obvious , dam . Ok i think we should meet in the middle and all re name them DICTOR ? What you think ?.

step83

Calm down dear, its only a brake rotor its not as though your life depends on its being correct.

The Rookie

No no...going downhill your life could well depend on those 2 small brake discs.

Unless somebody's pinched it to put into a Marine Turbine Technologies Y2K. Or it's Colin McRae's helicopter, and the engine's at the other side of the field from the rotor blades...

Hope is a British company, and they sell floating rotors, so they must be called rotors!
