long term campy rotor user here. best looking rotor in my opinion and still one of the lightest without going to extreme metal cutout or poor heat dissipation material . just watch out now there is a rotor that is from ekar groupset. it has a different spider design and is abit heavier since it's designed for offroading.
Some say pour 10ml water out of your bottle to save that last bit of the weight. Sorry, i go one step further, i tend to the rider off my bikes. :thumbup:
n+1...14 last time i checked, but i lost count :mrgreen:

Ekar is a steel spider rather than Alu i think. Maybe it also helps them to come off the production line flat...

I love my AFS rotors, but frustrating they weren't able to send me a 160mm rotor that didn't need truing.

If you're buying Campag DB wheels you have to get the Campag AFS rotors. They complete the look.
Haha twist me rubber arm. Just not sure if I should do the 160/140 combo or the 160/160. I weigh 78kg and come into most corners kinda hot.
160/140 should be ok. But most of all it depends on what kind of rear caliper you have bought with the groupset. With Campy you don't have an adapter.
The groupset shows 160 both ends. It actually states in the Campy disc brake manual that warranty is void if you use an adaptor.

Ekar might be 160 both ends but the road groups certainly offer rear 140mm. I use 160F/140R on road and off road and it's fine, well, it's better than fine.

The only option when I ordered the group was 160 so I wasnt going to be too fussy when everything is dwindling in stock and who knows when they will restock. Otherwise I would have went 160/140.

Fill in the blank:

1. Campy Record group
2. Campy Bora wheels
3. Brand ________ rotors.

Hmmmm ...

I ordered 140/160 AFS rotors but I may end up using Zipp 454 wheels. Will the campy rotors work with the zipp DB wheels?
