Great upgrade from resin only rotors

I bought these rotors as an upgrade for my bike that came with resin only rotors. I burned through resin pads riding a lot of steep descents and realized I needed to switch to metal pads. It also meant new rotors so I bought these rotors and metal pads (pads compatible with Truckerco B01S) and am very happy. Braking power has improved slightly after pad wear and pad life is MUCH better. I highly recommend these rotors. The 180mm front rotor can warp a bit after heavy braking, but is easily straightened by hand. The 160mm gets a lot of heat, but the smaller diameter means it never hits the pads. I replaced the TruckerCo pads with Tektro E10.19 pads which are quieter. If I had to do it again I would go with the Ice-Tech Twin 203 fin rotors as they never warp due to their heavier construction.
