Does anyone have any experience of these? Are they an improvement?

SteveD CB500K0:
This doesn't make sense.

Floating discs are designed for bikes with fixed calipers, quite how a floating disc with a floating caliper would work I don't know. Unless your caliper has seized of course!

Trigger:
With you on this one Steve. Floating caliper and disc?

K2-K6:
A "fixed" caliper has both pads fully floating as the Honda swinging caliper has one part fixed (it can't back away from the disc more than has been set for clearance) and only one true floating pad.

totty:
I hadn't given the float a thought, but I'm now wondering if it would be an issue.
I was wondering if anyone had tried one and if it proved more effective as it's probably a different material.
