I've nearly got all the bits for my fork conversion. I'm after some discs. After some research i was shocked on how much discs cost. It seems i'm looking at £100 on some used ones or £250 for some new ones (roughly).
Depressed i decided to look on ebay and i noticed plenty of disks coming out of Hong Kong and China costing about £120 for the pair new! Anyone got any experience? Are they good quality? will they last? Seems silly to have to pay a fortune when i can buy new ones from Hong Kong for much less... Lets face it, the originals were probably made out off the same factory lol ![]() |

I know someone bought the chinese discs and found them to be alright.
But if you want to bluy blitish then these discs are good. At least if you have any problems, you can rling them. Only £70 more than you chinese ones http://blackshadow-uk.com/default.aspx

+1 for the blackshadow. i have them and so far so good. on my last conversion i had OEM ones and one warped in about 1500 miles. seemingly there is one type of chinese ones to go for but i can remember.
supose its all down to your braking habits, if you like to brake hard then you would be better going with good quality ones. |
