Looking at a disc replacement, wavy discs front and back.....the rear one is my concern. The original thickness was 4.5mm as per factory sizing, worn down to 4.2mm still easily within limits but the last owner had put new pads in which now clash with the worn unworn section; consequently the rear brake isn't the best. Looking online the thickness of all the replacements are 4mm??? Whilst I realise unsprung weight has to be reduced just seems wrong to have a disc 0.5mm thinner to start with.....any comments appreciated cheers Phil D
it can be just me if you like but i cant stand those wavy discs...upgrade to some proper brembo HPK ones..5.5mm
I find the front wavy things beast of brakes and prefer the look but each to their own.....The rear Brembo is 4mm got a reply this morning so still confused with this.....bike below
yep get rear brake programme on here...….but if I'm not hammering it or in Towns etc I use it....so it would be useful it if was responsive....wondered if anyone else has found a 4.5mm or 5mm REAR brake disc...plenty of front ones....
Hey thanks for the reply and I had seen this company but two things put me off.....one the price, two the States import duties, fees etc and possible hassle....but being cast iron full floating does tick all the boxes big time....I'll have another look Cheers
