They're only good to hang on a wall nowadays. Such a shame even NOS ones have delaminated :-(

 

[merlinmanson]

can't you fix the delamination? if it is the entire sheet peeling off, can't they be rebonded together with some sort of urethane?

I understand that the areas around the kevlar strands will be prone to de-lam because there were never fixed in place, but I'm curious is anyone has tried to urethane the sheets together.

Also - i think you can slow down delamination by storing the disks in a cool location, but obivously impossible to completely stop the ravages of time.

Yes you can. I am about to undergo the process on one of our disks that I have been riding pretty hard. The cover is starting to come away from the kevlar and making a ton of noise (more than normal).

I will document the process in a video and post it here when I am done.

Here's a little tension disk porn in the mean time....
