Rim or disk brakes on same bike, why the extra price?

90deg at it's hottest, 200deg short of boiling point

10 degrees. It seems they are measuring in Celsius.

Definitely not 10 degrees, I am referring to Celsius

Don't try to confuse things with weird units.
Everything is in Celsius. So 90c is 200c (ish) below the BP of brake fluid which is 200 and something. See post above.
If the rotors were at 90F they would barely be above room temp (below it in some places) If they were at 90K they would be very cold indeed and encrusted with ice from atmospheric moisture.

Should have said 10 degrees lower than boiling point. Which is 100 degrees Celsius in 2019.
What is this Fahrenheit thing you speak of @Dogtrousers ?

Yeah, of water! Not a glycol based fluid, nor a glycol based fluid that's 3.7% water content

You have heard of the Shimano ice tech rotors?

Made from actual ice so guaranteed to fail, maybe before your mudguard does

Video up thread. They use ice dry ice in the M2 versions.

CO2? No wonder the climate is in crisis. It's all these ice tech rotors releasing CO2 as the disc brake Borg collective assimilate rim brake Luddites.
