New Product Review (new to me)
not sure how many of you have one of these...but just thought i would share my positive experience with it. it is great because you can spin the cranks/wheel/chain/cogs/chain ring etc to clean better

That's neat - MX style, all the way.
Better watch out, the pressure washer nazis will be after you.

How good is it if you were to try and pedal on it? Cuase that would be a good way to keep on the bike in the snow or rain.

As always nice bike Mx. That stand is really trick, especially when one does not have space for a full stand.
Now that we are already off topic about your brakes, I had a question about them. I was just getting ready to purchase some m4's for the front and mini's in the back. What size rotors are you running? They sure do look nice, but do the floating rotors seem to be "fragile" or really thin?
For your little lyrics game, how about Godsmack - Straight out of line

Mono4 180mm front and Mono mini 160mm rear...then i switched lines so i could run the front brake on the right.
the 2 piece rotors do not seem any thinner. however, if you anticipate harsh riding conditions and bent rotors, than you might might want regular ones. have you bent rotors much in the past?
jensonusa.com has the Mini's with the 2 piece rotor for only 25 bucks extra...not sure about the M4.
no one has told me this and i have not read it anywhere...just my thought. that is, i think the 2 piece rotor tends to run more true than a one piece. the stiff aluminum spider you know will be true...then, if you think about it, there is less width of the steel part to warp. you know how you hear about some people getting discs that are warped brand new??
but if you think you are going to be taking hits on your rotors you might just want the regular ones. or get the 2 piece...and if you bust them, then get regular replacement ones. the 2 piece is pretty cool.
G-smack it is!!

Downside: less mass => lower heat absorption capability => floating rotors will get hotter for the same amount of braking compared to a more massive design.
