Ashima AiRotor direction

A few of you asked me about the rotation of the Ashima AiRotor. It was something like: haven’t they done a mistake?

The answer is NO and here it is explained:

It’s all about how “struts” perform under compression/tension loading. In short they perform significantly better under tension as in compression they’re subject to bending. So ideally for light weight rotors you need to ensure the arms are in tension under the braking load the only way to achieve this is to reverse the direction. Below you can see the graphical explication.

Also Ashima is preparing you a few surprises, so if you are a weightweennie stay tuned, no matter you like the disc brakes or v-brakes.

If you have other questions about the products that I use, don’t hesitate to ask me.
