What brakes!!!

<< < (2/3) > >>

florence:
I have a drilled disc in my workshop but I never put it on.  Does anyone know if they make any difference?

SteveD CB500K0:
In the good old days (70's) they made a bit of difference.

Don't forget that sintered pads were a mere twinkle in the eye of a Ferodo engineer at the time.

They helped in the wet - I guess anything that broke up the smooth stainless steel surface helped.

With modern pads - I'm not so sure.

They do look nice though!

florence:
Thanks for that, on it will go then next time I have the front wheel off.

Dave M:

Bryanj:
