[Closed] Reasonably-priced brake rotors?

I usually buy from Discobrakes but they've sent me the wrong items and have been hopeless at getting it sorted out.

So, where do you go for reasonably priced plain six-bolt rotors? I usually pay £10 to £13 (maybe a bit higher as I need 203mm).

Might have to be Shimano Rt66 but £19 each is a bit more than I'm used to.

Avids from eBay. Last pair were about £10, took a week or so to arrive (I assume from HK) and seem genuine. Work fine anyway!

RT66 can be had for £15 on eBay. Hard to fault at that price

Disco brakes were always very good

Yeah they've previously been fine, but have sent me the wrong rotors (ones they don't actually sell, presumably from a remote shipping facility).

Had to chase with four emails (responses from different outsourced CS operatives each time, I believe) before they've conceded a refund is in order. No offer to send correct items, so I'll shop elsewhere in future I think.

Disco Brakes used to be my go to as well.  They didn't have the ones I needed in stock last time and I bought Shimano RT66 instead.

No complaints.

Merlin had the rt66s for 15 each in 203 a while back and I paid the same off amazon just last week if it helps

Are floating rotors worth the extra?
