AI-Summary
Pros
Incredibly cheap (around 5 quid each)
Long-lasting (used for about four years with plenty of life left)
No issues with rivets coming loose or rattling
Lightweight with most mass concentrated in the steel brake track
Good braking performance
Available in multiple sizes (160mm, 180mm, 203mm)
Cons
Not technically rated for use with sintered metal brake pads (wears out faster with them)
Finned version (imitating Shimano Ice Tech) has fins that can come loose (glued, not integral)
Key Points
Floating rotor design with steel brake track separated from an internal spider with rivets
Used with sintered metal pads despite not being rated for them
Finned version is less reliable due to glued fins
Lightweight but with mass concentrated where needed for braking
