Ok so i've done the compulsory searching but have surprisingly found nothing to this effect.
I've had a set of braketech axis cast iron rotors since 2004. They've been used on my old M800 and my current s2r 800. Between both bikes, I now have a little over 50000 hard miles on them and they are showing signs of wear.
From what i've been told, the carrier hub can be reused since the rotors themselves are fully floating. Anyone ever done this? I could use some tips. I'd rather not pay for the entire assembly if i dont have to.
I intent to replace with the same cryo cut cast iron I currently have. They seem perfect for my style of riding and offer a good progressive feel.
How are the buttons held in place? What you need to know is two answers; how are the buttons are fixed to the rotors and are the blades available as a separate part? You also might want to do some cost evaluation since the cost of parts often is higher than the cost of the complete piece.
I would contact Braketech

I did have a chat w/ their sales a while back. The blades are cheaper without the carrier. Considering each rotor is 369 + tax with carrier. I'll take all the savings I can get.
I cant remember the exact savings but i do believe it was in the range of 50 -80 bucks per rotor. I'm not averse to a little extra work to save some dough.
I'll see if I can post some photos of the buttons. They're fully floating so I have no idea what funky setup these guys use to hold these rotors together.
