Bonded rotor in a 3.5 can? Work fine or problems?
 

Maybe this is a daft question, but I will ask anyway.

If I put a bonded rotor in a 3.5 turn Novak can, will it work fine or can I expect to have problems with heat (other than through improper gearing).

What sort of handling can I expect from it? Will it be softer / less torquey and with less brakes?

Thanks in advance.

In theory it would run. However, it would rev FAR too high for off rd, and doing that sort of RPM would probably kill the rotor.

Would a disintegrated rotor ruin the can then?

Is sintered the way to go here?

sintered 100%, don't bother with bonded

I've got a sintered rotor that came with my 3.5 novak, and I just took it out to put in my 5.5 that I normally run.

Being as I'm a lazy sod I wondered if I could just run the bonded in the 3.5 and leave the sintered in the 5.5, but it seems not based on what's been said.

Now, I've never tried the bonded in the 5.5, so what would that be like then compared to the sintered?

slow, and it'll get hot because you can't gear it the same

won't be as good when it comes to braking either.

have seen a number of bonded rotors give up the ghost

Okay I'll just bin the thing then LOL.
