Tarox Discs - Anyone run them?

[ukkid35]

I'm not at all convinced I can afford them at £800 a pair, but curious to know whether anyone runs them?

Are there any other 2 piece options?

[ukkid35]

Reyland seem to do 304, but not 320, or have I got that wrong?

[ukkid35]

Thanks both, I'll have to measure up the bells, hopefully they are 8" pcd, as that seems to give the most choice. Fortunately I have the 6 bolt AP5200, so that makes things easier too.

Only costs £15 for a pair of spacers to run 330mmx30 discs then.. Reyland do that size.

That is tempting, I've checked and the bells are 8" pcd (I think they are the early 4.5 bells)

Another option would be 32mm, as the CP5200 specs do say 32mm max.

Looks like it would be tight though (these are 30mm discs)

They are pretty though

I just picked up a pair of used Tarox discs, effectively for nothing

Not sure whether they are usable, but I am certainly going to clean them up and see

[ukkid35]

I cleaned up the mating surfaces but didn't get the discs skimmed, instead I let a used set of pads clean up the friction surface

I did two days at the Ring last week and the discs worked great, not sure how long the next set of pads will last though, but a free pair of Tarox discs was a real result

[ukkid35]

In fact the pads don't seem to last long at all

I might swap back to the Compbrake rotors in case I'm not making a fair comparision

I bet the Tarox are a lot lighter than the Compbrake though, will have to check

[ukkid35]

These Tarox discs are eating up pads really very quickly, any idea why?

[ukkid35]

They are very evenly worn

I'm not sure I'd gain much by getting them skimmed, but I'll definitely think about that
