Rear disk

[glennMember]

I was applying some chain lube to the narny today and realised that I am now looking for a new rear brake disk due to the standard one being a tad bent . Any ideas out there where to get one for a good price. :unsure:

I read somewhere that the solid ones are the go due to not wearing out the pads as quick on enduro`s, i would be interested in feed back on them as well.

I heard that solid discs lack feel :dry:

On the bend disc Boony I have straightened discs before very successfully I might add

I would say E bay Boony

If the pads last longer then they are stopping you less. Same as rubber, the more grip they give the quicker they wear out

Yeah I just found the article, they “fitted a solid disc as the original brake setup was to savage”
Straighten it Boonstar sounds rough but it works

think i will compromise and go a solid wave disk and see how that goes.they look better than the retro solid round ones anyway

Boony,

Straighten the disc mate. Just spin the wheel and measure the points where it starts deflecting against a fixed point (say the swing arm). Then get a shifter and put it in the middle of the bend and straighten.

As for the solid discs. I actually heard they give you better feel. My mate swears by them. They wear your pads out less as the pads are rubbing against less edges (ie the edges of all the little holes). As for stopping power they would be exactly the same. Friction is not dependant on the area of contact but the force applied to the contact which is exactly the same. At the end of the day you only need enough on the rear to lock it up and as soon as that happens the tyre/ground is the weak link.
