Brakes

Fuck! How hard it is to find reliable info about the slots? I've found a lot of interesting stuff to read regarding brakes, such as breaking in etc. But nothing of the slots!

But then again, I remember one conversations I had with Stoptech some time ago. It was about the warmth of brakes regarding of racing use of Stoptech Aerorotors. The monsieur at Stopetech told me, that if there are any problems with heating up those Aerorotors, they could be switched from left to right. The vanes inside them are designed to flow very efficiently and by turning it inside out, the air flow is decreased thus making the disk heat up faster and cooling down less. This could be good idea when the velocity isn't going too high, thus making the braking to produce less heat (the head production in proportional to the square of velocity).

Anyway, if it doesn't matter which way the vanes are, I think this way should push the brake dust and while under the pad the gas too away from the vanes thus being better way to do it. This is just my thought, I shall continue to search for better knowledge.

I'll quote some of the most interesting stuff from Stoptech's technical docs later.
