Default Anyone running a 360 Brake?

I have been leaning heavily towards addinga 6" front and 5" rear 360 brake so that my Rocker will have a truly custom look, especially with the wheels that will be going on (among everything else). Does anyone have any experience with them? Are they as good as advertised? Worse?

Thanks in advance!

I was hoping you would get some responces, as I too am thinking of putting one on my bike. Looks nice, lets you see the whole wheel. Instalation is a little involved but would be worth it if it works well.

i thought about it when I bought my PM front wheel. I wanted to see the whole rim, but when I researched it you have to be an engineer to install it. I mean you have to cut your spacers with such high tolerances forget about it. it is not ready for mainstream america yet.

I think now you can get them for a specific rim

I heard of a lot of over heating problems with the 360 brake. I know they took it off the market for a while, and hopefully they worked out the bugs but I dont think I would trust it.

Supposedly the new 6" brake is "the greatest thing since sliced bread".

Damn! I may end up being the guinea pig on this one then.

The physics sounds like it's all there.

My Brembo's have great stopping power, I'm sticking with them. I can't see the wheel when I'm riding anyway.
