Serious Brake fade

Sweet looking bike dude, yea they're the discs I used to have on my 1st Berg, they were superb & never gave me any issues!!

Don't believe these wavy discs are up to it, need to get myself the real deal!

Thanks again

I was going to suggest you a Beringer cast rotor when I saw that same ****** Braking disc that I also have. Glad you figured out it.

Do you have 6 piston axial or 4 piston radial caliper? I didn't see that on the pics. You want BRO10 for 4 piston and BRO12 for 6 piston, trust me.

I was going to get the bro12 for my 4 piston radial but then I had a chance to test SXV with 4 pot radial and Brembo RCS19 with 19mm piston diameter! Talk about grabbing a 2x4 and try to squeeze that. :lol:

beringer bro12 have so much adjustment . you can set them up for 1 finger braking and know your going to stop in time . without the wooden or grabbing feeling ! i wouldnt use anything else now !!

But you still can't change how the fluid is being pushed into caliper pistons. Changing the lever distance or pivot point only changes how you like to grab the lever and how long the travel is before it starts to hit handlebar or switches.
Piston size stays same and the lever moves and feels same when it starts to push fluid.

There is no doubt more control and feeling in the smaller bro10 when using 4 piston caliper.

Cheers
