Writing a review for an 203mm (or 8") rotor. Pros: - thick (3mm) so impossible to bend - my older 160mm Shimano rotor and Avid G2 185mm vent off center after 1-2 rides. This one from Superstar, although bigger than both which means its easier to bend, never came off center ! - large braking surface - extremely important for those that use Magura disc brakes like older Louise or Martas that ha

Patches done the job when first bought but after a couple of months the remaining patches just fell off the backing paper and didnt stick. Have several components from these guys and unlike the other stuff, these just dont live up to expectations.

Cheaper than other aftermarket brands, but works like any other. Never had any problems mounting the brake caliper on the rotor.

These definitely do what they say on the tin. Lasted two hard weekends in the Peak District, about as long as the originals. Just ordered a second set - they arrived less than 24 hours after ordering. Nice work, Superstars!

My only comment, and i'd say this about a number of superstar products, is that there was no

Simply an excellent stem for the money. It is no secret that a lot of Superstar items can be bought with other brand names on for a lot more and this is one of the biggest bargains at the normal retail price of ̏45 but we snapped one up for the ̏30 sale price. As usual the quoted weight is bang on and machining and quality is excellent and although very slender is very solid. Be very ca

All good, with a 10mm conversion kit for my Pro 2 hub it makes the rear end on the Five noticeably stiffer. Not sure how needed it would be on linkage type frames as they are sometimes already fairly solid, but I'd definitely recommend for single pivot frames
