and floating rotors. We have floating rotors
already...along with the the "dreaded floating
calipers" that some think are a mismatch.
My apologigies.

They float if the wheels are off, but as soon as you tighten them down the rotors become fixed.

is separate from the hub.

[edit] okay maybe that was a little blunt...allow me to rephrase: "I respectfully disagree, sir".

slide the rotor off freely...it's floating.

Captain Sheetmetal

The floating rotor we were all talking about is one that floats when it's actually being used, like the rotors on most newer motorcycles.

Our rotors, of course, will float if you take off what secures them--as will anything else--but while in use, they do not float and therefore there are no compatibility issues (floating rotors + floating calipers).

Some company (ECS I think) was marketing a new "floating rotor" that actually floated while being used. There was concern that these rotors would not get along very well with our floating calipers. Our stock rotors are rigidly mounted when being used and therefor are not relevant to that (and this) discussion.

brakes to be any different, other than HP2 calipers and rotor size.

I might have. I thought they were thinking the separate rotor hat made it float.
