Hi all

I've recently sorted myself a deal on some shimano zee brakes. But Unfortunalty, this bike isn't the no expense spared bike. So I'm treading lightly with the £££.

As much as I'd love the shimano Ice tech rotors. They are out my price range.
I was thinking as an alternative either the clarks floating rotor shown here...

Or the shimano RT66 rotor. I know the shimano rotor is made to fit, but doesn't look as good haha.

I'm guilty of wanting a bit of bling. Price isn't much in it from shopping around.

Any experiences? Thanks

I reckon either will be fine so choice is up to you.  I have a pair of Clarks floating rotors on my hardtail (not sure they are those ones) and they have been much like any other rotor

I went RT66 when i fitted my XT 4 pots.  Floating rotors seem expensive!

Can't really go wrong with RT66s I've used them many times but they're one of those components that lower the whole tone of the bike

Have a look at RT76s

I've used the XT rt76 for years with my Zees, they are absolutely fine.

It's a brake disc. It works. Do you want it to match your nail varnish as well? 😉
