FAQs

Q: The stems aren't 100% symmetrical on either side. Is that supposed to be like that?
A: Yes, the stems are slightly assymetrical in looks. They are totally symmetrical in function, i.e. your handle bars are correctly aligned to the steer tube when mounted properly. We purposely designed the stem to be organic and realistic looking.

Q: Where can I get them?
A: You'll find a list of dealers and online sources here.

Q: The rotors look cool, but are they safe?
A: They are as strong as other name brand rotors currently on the market. The material that they are made out of is a very tough stainless steel. It is high quality metal made here in the US. We engineered them using the latest 3D CAD software with computer design analysis. After we were done with the theoretical computer analysis, we tested the snot out of them on the trails. Nothing is for sale that we haven't used under normal riding conditions. They are on our bikes right now!

Q: Are they worth it?
A: Dirty Dog MTB, Inc is about standing out of the crowd; “leaving your mark” on your ride. We want to make a product that is safe and looks different than anything else. Most other rotors are made overseas, where labor costs are cheaper, and have their boring designs stamped out by the hundreds of thousands.

Q: Do you ship internationally?
A: We do ship to countries where we don't have a distributor. But for the countries where we do have a distributor, we have carefully chosen our international distributors, and they are all top notch, so we will not ship to those countries currently covered by our international distributors as the product is already there, and it's easier for you as the customer to get DirtyDogMTB products from them. However, in the countries where we don't have distributors, we will gladly ship to that country. You can contact us at info@dirtydogmtb.com with any questions.

Candy doesn't care if your rotor is 6, 7, or 8 inches as long as it's a Dirty Dog Rotor.

Q: Are you going to have different graphical designs?
A: We are working on new designs all the time. Keep checking our website!

Q: Do you make or sell calipers too?
A: No, but our rotors are compatible with all major caliper brands that use 160, 185, & 203mm as well as 0.070” thick. This is a standard that is on other manufacturer’s website.

Q. Do I need to burnish them?
A. Yes, just like the other rotors on the market, you will need to burnish them, which is done by simply riding and stopping. When using any new rotor, ours or somebody elses, using them heats them up a little and transfers some of the brake pad material onto the braking surface of the rotor. Please take it easy the first few times you use anybody’s new rotor, a Dirty Dog MTB or any other manufacturer

Q. I don’t seem to be getting the stopping power that I need;what’s wrong?
A. Try some rubbing Alcohol to clean the surface, or a degreaser. If there is oil on the rotors, they won’t stop that well. If that doesn’t work, then consult your brake caliper manufacturer’s instructions / troubleshooting guides. You may need to check the wear on your calipers, brake set-up or depending on your riding style, upsize to a bigger rotor.

Q. What sizes do you make?
A. 160mm, 185mm, & 203mm. All are 0.070" thick.
