Wunderlich/Braking wavy discs?!

[Gray Wizard]

Hello,

I'm one of the lucky many who is in need of a new rear disc after only 18k. As long as quality is good I'm happy to pay a 'reasonable' premium over the BM standard. So here the question:

1.) Has anyone experience with the Braking (sold by Wunderlich) wavy discs?
My dealer (NOG) tells me the wavies last for ages but eat pads for breakfast lunch and dinner! Can anyone verify this?

2.) Has anyone ever fitted discs and pads themselves? Being a hands on sort of guy (no pun intended), I like to do as much as I can on the bike myself (but not if it means killing myself).

Not had Braking Wave discs on my GS but have had them on other bikes, fitting them is not an issue as long as you know what your doing and have the correct Torque settings.

Braking Waves have a cutting edge designed o keep the pads de-glazed so conventional pads can suffer and it's recommended you fit sintered pads. Can't say I noticed them eating pads but I'm sure someone else will comment.
