Ashima is a small company from Taiwan with some pretty cool products. For the weight weenie (count me in) they have an extremely light disc rotor. Here is the weights on the 160 and 190(?) sizes. Pretty tricked out! Thats the lightest on the market, it beats the Alligator Serrated by 6+ grams. Time to do some testing! I caused a scarcity issue when I got people psyched up for the Alligator rotors and these appear to be more tricked! Wayne the rep was a great Brit thats now living in Taiwan. I am working with him to get some products for testing. Their product will be distributed in the US by JB Imports.

They also make a couple of interesting brake pads. They have a multi-compound disc pad (organic, semi-metallic and sintered) that I can’t wait to test. In addition they have V-brake pads that has a 4 function braking surface. Pretty cool stuff.
