Not me, I like to use my feet to slow down. Clearly you don't understand how to modify a motorcycle.

[@blipco5]

Gavin Kerber ...Or you could just "lay 'er down".

[@rationalmartian]

Just remove the front mudguard. Then you can use your foot on the front tire like we used to do when we were kids. Just be careful that your foot doesn't slip off and go in the spokes. On a push iron it is a guaranteed front flip, and maybe a sore foot. On a motorbike, it would be an instant distoeing or defooting.

[@blipco5]

rationalmartian ...That is very dangerous. We used to rope tie a length of 2x4 to the frame of our bikes with the top resting on the handlebars then when you needed to stop you just pulled back like an emergency brake and the bottom would scrape the ground to stop us. But it never did. Yeah, we got many cuts and contusions because my neighborhood had a nice hill.

Every fucking track rider that’s worth 5 nickels knows that more breaking power the faster the bike is around the track, and that optimal-extensive use of breaking is the only way to faster lap times. If that doesn’t make sense to someone, they don’t know shit about track riding.

[@stonneyup]

Removing half your brake pads sounds fine to me. Top tip. If your ear defenders are getting too hot drill holes in them for cooling. 👌👍👍

[@Adam5130A]

Personally, when I'm on track and my hand is tired from braking, chamfered brake pads really come into their own. Once the lever is pulled and the pistons press on the back of the pad, due to the chamfer the pistons rock in the bores of the caliper thus locking them and therefore keeping the brake on. This is not to be confused with brake binding. Obviously that is something totally different.

[@johnpike9612]

And here I was wondering if I was the only thinking of that solution..... Another benefit is all the extra excuses to wrench on my bike and blow money on parts I shouldn't need when it causes the rotors, calipers, pads, and paint to wear out early 🤣🤣

[@TheLeevtr]

Why not just pump your tyres up to 100psi while you're at it, less rolling resistance and no need for a grinder !!!

[@11metalfan]

Anything other than a diet, eh Brock? Could do with a bit of Brockoli on your plate, chief. Keep at it the way you are now and your rolling resistance will be tested by the local kids pushing you down a hill like a sweaty bowling ball

[@travish8088]

What scares me more than anything is one day there might be a guy riding next to me with chamfered brakes.

[@TheMrbrookster]

The uneven wear on the rotor, the extra heat in the rotor under heavy braking because all the braking load is now focused in a smaller area.

[@HighestRank]

TheMrbrookster Heavy braking is going to glaze the pads, and they’ll end up in a vise under a grinder anyway, if not the rotors themselves, also.

[@floflo8018]

even without grinding the pads if you take them off you push back the cylinders putting them back on so the friction will be reduced until you press them once more

[@MrBiggabit]

What a shame they no longer use asbestos.... facepalm.

[@mrjohhhnnnyyy5797]

Hedge hog they’re already warped, easily seen upon the first hand spin, just in case you hadn’t detected that yourself.

[@HighestRank]

Hedge hog that’s the same result as drilling and slotting your rotors, so if you’ve got solid rotors, chamfering might equal... be a poor man’s drilled rotor.

[@paulwilliams5187]

I think i will suggest to Brock, that if he sets up a feed system of Liquid Nitrogen to constantly cool his brake pads disks, and callipers, using a calliper jacket, they will become a frictionless super conductor, and eliminate no load friction to zero, and i'm sure DOT4 will be able to cope with the extreme temperatures, because it is designed for that🤣

I went even further, I removed all the brakes, and the wheels and the bearings. To save weight as well, i removed the engine, the fuel tank and the seat, and for good measure, all the electrics. I now have zero rolling resistance and a bike that weighs less than a large melon. I can't ride it now, obviously, it's just a frame, which i might also remove later. But NO rolling resistance at all! Very few people do this, and if you're uncomfortable then don't do it.

He should’ve taken that angle grinder to his rotors. It’s a win win less pad friction and less rotational mass. Wouldn’t even have to take the wheel off.

[@ElMuelio]

Chamfering the edge of a pad is actually common practice for track/race bikes - however you chamfer the edge at around 45 degrees, and at most 2mm. It makes it much easier to swap wheels quickly and while you might lose a small amount of braking force, you can always squeeze a little harder. He chamfers at an angle of around 10 degrees and halves the braking area though - utter moron.

I do this on my street bike on the rear brake for that exact reason. I might get 3k km out of a soft rear, so the rear tire is often being removed.

I guess you need twin disks a fashion statement. Remember kiddies when you increase the acceleration of your bike, this should be accompanied by reducing the braking efficiency, this is what all the top racers do!

[@HighestRank]

John H rotors and calipers are indeed 100% unsprung mass if you’re using concrete-filled tires, but completely removing even just one pad would remove 100% of all friction associated with “his logic”. ‘Unsprung mass’ was never mentioned as “his”-concern, and yet filling your tires with concrete would negate all weight- reduction provided by their total exorcism: which would include both discs, unless you simply weren’t paying attention to the fact that HE DIDN’T ACTUALLY DO SUCH A THING.
