Front brake arm and caliper

<< < (2/5) > >>

Beddgelert:

Thanks Guys, just to recap

The arm definitely doesn't travel over the top of the disc as I suspected it should (thanks hairygit), I have checked the part number of the arm and actually I have two different arms now which are (I believe) the right part for the bike. The disc diameter is 296mm (brianj) is that a 750 disc?

Which is easier/ least expensive, change the disc or can I fit a 750 arm which will fit the disc without changing the lower fork tubes?

thanks for the knowledge! And anyone want a couple of 550 brake caliper arms?!!!

Bryanj:
Its too dark to go and measure my 500 but the only solution that makes sense is a 500 disc if the one you have is 750 as the mountings are higher up the slider for the 750

I have a couple of discs as part of my barn clear out. One may be from a 550 though.
They will be cheaper than that! (Like about £20 cheaper)

500 disc is 278mm diameter so there is your problem and take Steve up on his offer as the 550 is the same disc
