I don't know about motorcycles, and I understand about how mountain bikes need to have the water taken off their brakes..
..yet I fail to understand how holes acheive that?? Whatever material is in between the holes for the pad to grip on will stay wet? What am I not getting here..
..and if you've ever measured the temperature at which brakes run when you start pushing them a littlem, you'll see that water probably vaporizes before it even reaches the rotors.
