You are lost. The friction at the rotor is a different component than the friction between the tire and the ground. Once there is enough friction between the pads and rotors to stop the wheel, going with a bigger rotor, or a caliper with more clamping force, or higher friction pads, will not shorten your stopping distance.


That's the point cupcake. If you can lock the wheel you have enough brake torque to exceed the traction provided by the tires. Increasing the brake torque via bigger rotors will not offer any benefit as you've already exceeded the traction limits of the tire!


You are utterly confused. Which part of "lock the wheel up" are you struggling with?

Here's some more homework for you. Read this:

I have taken nothing out of context, cupcake.

I have only pointed out how very uninformed you are about how braking systems work.

It's you after all that think that larger tires won't shorten stopping distances and that going with bigger rotors will. You simply do not know what you're talking (writing) about.

Cheers!

And do some homework!
There you go again taken stuff out of contex, I'd said tires alone won't do it. Anyway I was expecting 19 more post, sugarpie. Your running out of materials from my other threads to post? Please go through my entire history in this forum and dig things up post here to massage your ego....that can be your homework for the weekend.
