Looks great, but didn't see prices or ordering information. Also, don't have confident in my ability to cut and trim this things.
Kind of an old thread, but did anyone find a reason not to just cut brake disks our of carbon fiber sheet material when the needed size is not available?
Here's another link with prices.

I have done it several times, not hard to do and easy to cut & shape...
I think Dawn at Smoothedrags was offering sheets of Carbontex ????
I have a couple of old Shimano Beastmasters I'm working on for a customer. They are the 130 size and the brakes need changing. Will try the carbon fiber w/ grease and see how it does.
Being in NZ and a long way from anywhere, I often cut and customise CF drag washers.
I get the basic dimensions and shape with my wife's dressmaking sissors, then perfect it with a file and/or grinder.
Works great... Which reminds me, I need to order another sheet. ;)
Cheers, Justin

Yikes! If I got caught using the wife's scissors, she'd do some trimming of her own and I know I wouldn't like it! ;)
