Many riders (including myself due to lack of skill) hardly use the rear brake, but if I had the means to make a Ti disc for a special build, I probably would. Its like any weight saving on a bike, on its own it's not much but it all adds up, same goes for unsprung weight and rotating mass. I want to see the Ti engine internals that Bruce is going to machine 😃

Again, why stop at Ti when alu is lighter?

You're missing out by not using the rear brake
 
I’ve started using rear break more and more w the V4. If you think about it, it’s safer bc you spread the braking forces which gives you more of a buffer so you don’t overload the front.

Whether or not you use the rear brake, you benefit from a lighter rear rotor; for, as you note, the reduction in unsprung weight. Really, the braking performance is probably reduced with all that milling and reduction of material. At some point, anyway.

Sir, mind sharing what the ID of those WSB silencers are. I have a few on order and trying to get the right adapters to fit the manifolds.

Alu is lighter than Ti? What?

id like to think it was a bit tongue in cheek.....the more important factor being who in their wildest dreams would use alu for a brake disc.......but who knows.:rolleyes:
 
Tbh I’ve never seen Ti brake discs before.

The question is friction… do Ti discs require special brake pads?

They used to sell plasma faced aluminum rotors. As much as I use the rear i'll turn one out of oak and use one stone pad and one flint one.
 
Aluminium carriers I get … but given the properties of aluminium all goes against friction and heat
 
Plasma faced stuff is pretty hard. They're plasma faced with iron. The issue is limited depth of coating. But if you never use the rear except to occasional tighten your line you might get a season out of one before you're actually to the aluminum. Haven't seen one for sale for awhile though.
 
Because it didn’t work too expensive better stuff available…
