Wow!look wicked - do they work? there isn't as much metal there as with, say a roundagon.
I've used some sawtooth shaped rotors in the past, and they definitely didn't work as well as a "normal" rotor, mainly because they gave the brake a pulsed feeling at the lever, and didn't seem to be able to lock the wheels as easily.
That said there are a few different styles of Alligator rotor, and some of them look like they'd work better than others...
I'm keen to try the [url= http://www.singletrackworld.com/reviews/ashima-airotor/ ]Ashima Airotor[/url] as I've heard good things about them, as in that they work just as well as a standard rotor, but are not much more than half the weight...
I've some Ashima Air's, MY GOD do they stop you. They rape your pads a bit if you don't use Sintered, but never get brake fade and they look sweet as.
got some windcutters on a pair of wheels. they work well, don't feel much different to any others i have.
I use the sawtooth rotors on 3 bikes (light and I liked the design). I bought mine from fizz bikes in france. Cheapest price I could find at the time but the £ has falled since.
