I have no personal experience of these and went for Galfer instead but a bike mechanic friend whos lad races does recommend the cheapo Chinese discs saying they are as good as any! Whether they are these ones i dont know but there is a very good chance that they all come from one common source so its got to be worth a shot at that price :thumbup:
Obviously if anyone has actual experience of them then listen to them but i have heard horror stories regarding most of the better known brands :o

Is the feedback a pulsing sensation while stopping, especially at slower speeds?
If so, make sure you offset one rotor by one bolt hole so both rotor's slots are out of phase from each other.
