Well, that is certainly a good setup. Thank you for not being one of those people complaining about their 140mm rotors overheating.

Interested to see how the new rotor works. Are these the 220mm ones? I would think they would handle the heat much better than the 180s.

I was going to suggest sintered pads, but you already tried those. I've never used ceramic. Interested to know how they work. I understand they work very well when hot, but don't last very long and chew up rotors.
