CB500/550 / Drilled disc?
« on: July 18, 2020, 06:00:48 PM »
I’ve just swapped out my drilled disc, wasn’t really that hot on it, but mainly I thought it was clanging the pads. Turns out it’s the brand new caliper! Was about 2mm longer than the OEM one and it was hitting the rivets on the disc!!
I road the bike with it on, it was not warped and is about 7mm+ thick, can’t measure just yet as my caliper have a flat battery. The clanking was only noticed when I span the wheel after fitting the new caliper. I’ve ground off the excess and now it’s A1.
Are these drilled discs any good? Should I keep as a spare if/when the used solid one wears down?
Could have saved myself a few quid but honestly I checked everything before I bought another disc...
