I'd thought i would lighten the weight up on the back wheel with a lighter disc. Or is it an excuse to eat more pies   From left to right. Standard, Light and More Pies |

Rear brakes are for softies anyway.
Easy enough to use the standard disc as a template and make a super-light one out of cardboard.

The early Lotus Elise sports cars came with aluminium/alloy brake discs as O/E 😁

I thought this was a good forum until now. I come up with a good mod to keep the performance of our bikes up and be able to eat more pies at the same time. All you buggers can do is take mick. |

A uk company which are very handy to Know if your building something different. Anything else just ask |

On one of my old race bikes, in a 'control' class, my goal was to remove as much weight as possible..
The rear disc was aluminium and was only really there to keep the scrutineers happy....
