Default GiroDisk to stock weight comparison

To put this to bed.....The front GiroDisk 340mm rotor weight 1.15 lb less per rotor than a new stock 318mm rotor. The rear 325mm GiroDisk rotor weighs 1.5 lb more than a somewhat worn stock 299mm rotor.

GR front=18.09
GR rear 15.5
stock front=19.24
stock rear=14

you might wonder why. I think (by looking) the rear GD iron part has greater metal to air ratio than the front GD. also (325/299)^2 is greater than (340/318)^2

Yes not much in weight savings But big difference in size and stopping power and pedal feel
I’m impressed with my set up
