Where's his disc? - SV650.org

07-05-05, 04:29 PM

Probably obvious, but my mate spotted this bike with no disc and some other sort of braking system around the circumference of the wheel today. He snapped a piccy on his camera phone (poor quality):

Can anyone shed any light on what this system is, please?

The disc is on the inside of the rim.
It's like the Buell system.
Instead of having a small disc around the axle, its a big disc on the rim circumference.

Thanks for the quick reply. Any name for this braking system so I can google it?

Rim discs....Drools...vey expensive as you have to buy a special wheel, then the caplipers, then...oh the list goes on. If IIRC, its somewhere in the region of £1500-£1600

It looks like he has had problems balancing it, there seems to be a lot of weights on the rim
