Re: How powerful should a hb be ?

dual rear, i tried the front caliper one and found it way too powerful for me, it was nice, but a bit overkill IMO. looking forward to seeing what the dual rear is like. at the very least i guess it'll make going from FB to hb smoother but im hoping for a bit more power from it as well... we'll see :YEAH

Re: How powerful should a hb be ?

Do you need a big disk to run a 4 pot?

and you would need a different dual caliper too hey?

ant, you don't need a bigger disk for the 4 pot, you just have to trim the pads so they don't touch

did you know that vandal is a wizz with a piece of metal and a hammer, he can make anything
