Abstract
In a rotor system, in particular for a bicycle (1), with at least one first rotor (31) for the transmission of brake actuations, which is mounted in the area of a handlebar stem (12) of a fork (8), whose support is provided by a steering head tube (21), and which has two components (32, 51) that are rotatable with respect to each other without restriction, wherein one component (32) is in active connection with a brake actuation device and the other component (51) is in active connection with a brake, the first rotor (31) is mounted inside the steering head tube (21), which serves as a casing for the first rotor (31), or above the steering head tube (21), the transmission of the brake actuation takes place by way of a fluid (F) that penetrates to the first rotor (31), and the first rotor (31) has an external piece (51) mounted outside the handlebar stem (12) and an internal piece (32) mounted inside the handlebar stem (12) as components that are rotatable relative to each other.
