Title: Disc brakes - floating vs. solid discs
Post by: Richard230 on January 14, 2023, 09:47:33 PM

This is an interesting short discussion regarding how floating disc brakes differ from solid disc brakes and why a semi-floating disc is better than full-floating discs for street riding:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsdAx2R44Co

Its great to brought up the difference between floating and solid disc brakes. It's an important factor to consider when purchasing a bike, whether it's an electric motorcycle or a traditional bike. I've had experience with both types of disc brakes, and I can definitely say that floating disc brakes provide better stopping power and are less likely to warp or crack. Reading detailed reviews like this (https://www.bikethesites.com/road-bikes-under-2000/) before buying would help people.

However, if you primarily ride for leisure or commuting, a solid disc may be sufficient.
