It's actually a really functional design. A lot of companies in the mountain biking industry have gone to the wavy rotor for their disk brakes. I forget what all of the advantages are supposed to be other than it dissapates heat better than a standard rotor.

yeah, I know, I think I have read about some advantages when they came out these for motrocycles some time back, maybe. I guess my comment was more about the aesthetics.

....Although, I went and read the entire thread, and it seems there has been no good testing done on those rotors, and well, those on that board appearing a bit more "in the know" (techinically), are very sceptical indeed.
Interesting subject...
