Brake disk rebuild:

Off-topic
1

The f/brake disk on The Riot has always been very loose, even by floating disk standards. Over the last year the assembly has become so loose, but still it sailed through its MOT. But no more. Whilst I’m having the f/fork seals changed I took the f/wheel up the breakers for the umtimth time. But still noth like the disk that I need. But I was recommended www.allbikeengineering.co.uk

I slid the disk under there door Tues day evening, they put 12 new buttons in it, having machined the flakey gold centre and skimmed the back of it to true it up! The Postman delivered it back Thursday!

Inc the £10 to post the disk back they charged a whopping £60.00!:w00t:

I hope that the whole lot goes back how it should, that not a doubt on ABE, its the concoction of parts were so worn and floppy, that when ture and tight I hope it all still works?

I just wish I’d give the f/forks to ABE now. Proppa value for money:cool:

depending on the cost of the bobbins £60 doesn’t sound bad,in fact now I read it properly! its a great price :smiley: I did both the discs on the front of my bike myself, and they were £19 a side, it took about an hour and a half to do both sets. heres a good description if anyone is interested in DIY, some good trip tales as well :slight_smile: http://www.ebbo.org/

If they did a decent job and got everything right, sounds a bargain to me.

I got quoted more than that for simply re facing two non floating BMW disks which is a p**s easy job if you have the machine shop.
