Default Used Titanium rotors?
So what's the deal with titanium rotors, got a chance to buy some used cheap. Other than super lightweight.

Just asking out of curiosity. Do you know what these rotors were off of?

I love titanium. but, it can be scary. It does not crack. Or show stress. it just snaps like glass without warning. it's melting point is 1650 C ~ Cast iron 1150 c
