as per title. they are a bargain option. Would you use them with xt or zee brakes?

Ive used ashima airotors with hope mini monos and found there was too much judder from the front brake (almost like an ABS feel). I now use shimano xt rotors and find them much better.

Very light and work ok with Hope x2's - but, you need to be aware they are very light.

Ime They're Prone to warping and rip pads apart.
Have they decided which way they should be run yet?

I like them because they're light. They do cause judder braking from some speeds or depending how hard.

However, I've been using them for 5 years and can't be bothered to change them, so I obviously don't find the judder that bad!

i use them on the xc bike and think they are very good paired with my xt brakes.
they make a bit more noise than my other rotors so may indicate higher wear rate on the pads but my xt pads seem to last ages.
