Not bad, but easy to bend
So, these aren't bad rotors, but I think they should reconsider their packaging. Be careful opening these, you'll need to cut the shrink wrap all the was around, if you try to cut a small bit then pull it off the backing, you'll probably bend the rotor. Also, be careful adjusting your brake calipers; if you try the "leave the calipers loose, squeeze the lever, then tighten the caliper bolts while holding the lever" technique, there's a good chance you'll bend the rotors. They're light, and they look really cool, but they bend pretty easily. I've had to re-true my rotors a couple times while installing/adjusting my brake calipers.

Good rotors, bad bolts
The brake rotor seems to be good. I've just installed them, and I was tightening the bolts to the specified torque (6 n-m), but one of the bolts broke at 5 n-m, so it's odd that the torque spec is higher than the bolts can handle. Now I need to buy some new bolts that will hopefully be able to handle the specified torque.I first tightened them all to 4 n-m in a cross pattern, then 5 n-m, and one of them broke the bolt head off at 5 n-m.The rotors seem to work fine even at 4 to 5 n-m, but now I don't trust any of the bolts. I'd recommend the rotors, just not the bolts.

and the braking response is great with very little noise in dry conditions using organic ...
I bought these to use with the SRAM Red hydraulics disc group on my road bike to save weight over the OEM SRAM rotors (not included with the group). They arrived true, and the braking response is great with very little noise in dry conditions using organic pads. I have yet to use them in wet conditions, but braking noise is expected from nearly all discs when wet.

Lasted one ride and ruined the pads
I bought this while upgrading from 140mm to 180mm. After break in, I used to to ride 2.5 miles to work. After the first 1.5 miles, my hydrologic brakes were soft requiring a full pull to slow down. After work I road to the bike shop and had to buy new pads and another rotor, Shimano. The rotor warped so bad it ate my pads completely. The new Shimano rotor had zero issues and I recommend you just go with Shimano if the first place.

Works perfectly with avid road bb7's
Bought a pair of these for my avid bb7's on my road bike 140mm & 160mm). These are lighter, break as well, and half the price of the recommended G2 rotors. It's also awesome that these come in multiple colors you you can give your wheels a little flare if your into that sort of thing.

Unusable out of box
Warped. Had a shop mount them on a wheelset and they were warped out of the box. We're not useablee.

Cool looking
These are super cool looking because they look like a golden saw blade. They work fine, too.

These are beautiful with my white and gold bike. Some people said the braking is less effective, but I haven't noticed that at all.
