Rear Brake Cooling

[drhyne]

This past weekend I ran a hill climb in PA. After 4 runs of 2.1 miles of hard corners and 120-to-25 braking my rear brake pads are TOAST. I have run hoses and fabricated dust covers with ducts for the front but my rears are solid rotors. I am looking to install a NACA duct for my helmet and I am considering getting a 2 port so I can run a hose to the rears.

Does anyone know if there is any way to swap out the solid rear rotors for ventilated ones. Do I have to change calipers or just the mounts? Also, is there any way to get a hose to the inside opening of the fins?

Thanks

Are you on stock front rotors and pads?

I don't know about your ventilation idea, seems like it would work. I know that the more front brake you have, the less rear brake you need. So possibly a beefier front brake set-up?
