Does anyone know if there are other bikes that have compatable front rotors with the SP1? I have been entertaining the idea of getting a new set of rotors for my bike but seem to be having a hard time finding any. I'm cheap and would like to find a set on E-bay or something. Also does any one have experience with wave rotors? Are they worth changing to. or are they just "bling"?

Due to rim and tire swaps between my race and street RC, I currently have my sp1 race front rim and rotors on my sp2 street RC. So obviously the sp1 and sp2 front brake rotors will work. I have heard that 929 or 954 RR rotors work but don't quote me on that. Wave rotors look sweet for sure and work well at fighting warpage and they constantly clean the brake pads, which is nice. However, I notice that they are sometimes thicker than OEM so any weight they claim to save they might give back with extra material overall. So any weight reduction is minimal compared to other ways to reduce weight on this bike. I also have heard that wave rotors can create a pulse feel that some riders find hard to get used to.

Galfer wave rotors are 6 ounces lighter each compared to a stock SP2. As far as pulsing or warpage I have not had any issues though I am not the fastest about.
I have recently fitted braking wave discs to my sp1 the fronts seemed marginally heavier (1 mm thicker) but the rear was much lighter while trying out my handy work they seemed to lose that instant bite although using the original pads. otherwise they have great feel and as for bling factor of the scale man!
personally oem rotors are just as good
sure i will find out come summer for sure originals are for sale on ebay unfortunately im in the uk.
