I believe the theory is that the braking force is transmitted directly into the outer part of the rim, then the tyre, rather than a normal one, where the same force is transmitted through the centre of the rims, then spokes, outer bit, tyres. This then allows the spokes to be quite spindly, saving on rotating mass.

*I think*
I may be wrong though

No quiet right also allows a much larger surface area for the disk which helps cooling/disappaition of heat although on the down side said heat has a lot shorter path to transfer into the tyre. These guys were selling wheels with twin perimeter rotors and Piaoli forks if you wanted to go that way http://www.ghezzi-brian.com/ .

Simply put - Brakes rely on friction and pressure from a piston/brake cylinder/whatever we wanna call em now.

A lever is like a see-saw, but i dont see where the lever is applying the pressure to the rotor?

[Bunyack]

dont worry Wolfy. I wowed them with my vast knowledge of physics on the previous page. Truth be told, I was kind trolling; posting the mention of the functionality of perimetre mounted rotors.


hehehheheh

Get a room. Ta.

Really?

As far as I understand, Further away from the axle/fulcrum means less effort for the same result. So I guess if you are right and smaller discs are just as effective as larger you can just shove some 250 discs on a moto gp bike. Mehehe.

Oh yeah that website I got my info from was a kids physics site.

They look tidy on that cbx, and when used on other customs they just look different, nice feature I reckonn

just used this as an example of distance from fulcrum/pivot makes it easier/harder to achieve the same result. Small disc versus big disc. I did not intend to confuse you.

Apologies shortfuse.

[Shortfuse]

You guys wanna keep your debate about levers, fulcrums and physics out of here? Much appreciated. Thanks.

oops

Nice build Shortfuse - i had a mate who picked on of these original CBX up in the same condition as yours and did a full engine and body rebuild of the whole bike back to better than orig.. But i love the idea of the SFR - cant wait to see some more pickies

PS im with Maxo... Luv the Spondon frames

[the[K]id]

Less yap yapping about brakes (that tards could find on google, and no one has explained fully) and more CBX awesomeness Personally, I can't wait to see you pull the engine to bits, never seen the innards of one.

For extreme, how about the "Pregnant Duck", supercharger, custom frame, marzocchi forks, 6 in to 6 exhaust...


And a helpful comment, I've seen K&N do dual pod filters (two carbs per filter) for CBX's, if your planning on running pods I highly recommend them, much easier to tune on old carbies than fully individual pods.

[Shortfuse]

I have quite a collection of pics of the pregnant duck. That is what I want to do with my pipes.

PS im with Maxo... Luv the Spondon frames

If you ever need a Spondon style frame made, PM Rastas. He IS the man.

[debaser]

That duck is mental, has huge discs on the front! completely useless. 6 into 6 exhausts, he wins just for that. Got any pics from behind. (no pun intended)

[BeNo]

Mint project SF... cant wait to see more
been os for while sorry to here bout the R1...

[thro]

you seen buells before?


dont know why they mount them there, they provide no extra braking power being further away from the axle.

Larger surface area for heat dissipation, meaning they can get away with 1 rotor?



Love the CBXs, can't wait to hear it.

[Bendito]

Sorry SF
If only there was some way to make it up to you...
Oh hey what's this then?!?



6-2-6 by the looks of it, a bit different

looks like he has 3 two stroke pipes on the end. Gold valve covers, pimp.

[Xuaxace]

6-6 exhaust.... just

[drifter]

mmm i like cbx1000's

[Bendito]

I think you should run the exhaust out to something like this
