Hi,

I need some new rotors for my old Formula R1 brakes, but having trouble finding replacement Formula rotors.

Anyone had any experience with other rotors that would work with these brakes?

160mm Hope floating rotors on my for ages, absolutely flawless.
The formula ones went wobbly after not very long, Hope's have been great
Still have the rotors but not the brakes...

What size do you need? I have a pair of minty Formula 160mm rotors that I might sell.

Silverfish UK were the distributors for Formula but have lost the account.
Last time I looked they were clearing stock, inc rotors, with decent discounts; their website is down at present but it's probably worth waiting until it's up and running again or call them on Monday before you consider any other options.

They're unfussy about rotors ime, I have some running on ashima Airotors, but I've also used cheap Tektros and I think maybe Avid?

Is it this sort you're after:

If so I've got a brand new 180mm and a very lightly used 180mm spare...

Cheers guys, might wait until Monday to check with Silverfish.

If not will probably go with some Avid ones I’ve seen
