Timbowe:
Yeah Brett S/S is crap for disks. Mild steel could be OK? Dunno personally. On the road bike a disk that has a certain amount of "iron" in the cast is the way to go. The pads (specially sintered ones) have superb feel and power compared to other materials. The rear disk on the KX is a cast one allthough the specific material makeup is unknown to me. Doesnt seem to rust up much like the road bike ones but you can see the cast mark on the unmachined surfaces. Teamed up with sintered pads this is the best rear brake setup I've had on an offroader.
  Gotta give the cad one a whirl. Look pretty trick! For $15 its worth a shot.
