ok, i just thought of this and want to get some feedback. some people have considered going from 160 to 180 or even 203mm disk sizes for that extra braking performance as i have. i recently went from 160 to 185 on the front of my mtb. decend improvement, the main reason i did the upgrade was due to the fact my brakes heated up soo much on a steep downhill after constant braking that i lost my brakes through brake fade, just like my car did on a race track or national park drives, haha.
anyway, seeing as though i now have a spare 160 mm disk i was thinking of double disking, yep, 2 disks side by side on the same hub sitting flush with each other. this creates double the amount of steel therefore decreasing the chance of excess heat causing brake fade. im sure the calipers would allow for this increase in width.
has anyone tried this?
what do you reckon brilliant or what?
