Quick Tech Tip: Brake Rotor Thickness

All disc brake rotors are the same thickness of 2 mm. Essentially, this means that all brands of rotors are interchangeable for given diameter.

However, since each company designs their brakes as a system, there may be variances in performance for using another brand's rotor. I have had no issues using Avid rotors with Shimano brakes.

Has anyone tried any combinations that have or have not worked? I would love to find something that decreases the noiseness of my Avid Exlixirs (especially when wet).
