This will be a general question instead of specific, If I bought a vented fender, do you think that would help cool the brakes at all? The wheels I use rightnow need hubcaps, or else they look like they took a bath in motor oil. Eventually i'll buy nice rims with wide open spaces for more air.

Wow this thread has helped a lot, more than I thought it would.
