Default Are These Brake Discs Any Good? - Mountain Bike Discs.

http://www.wiggle.co.uk/ProductDetai...20Disc%20Brake

I bought some Disc brakes for my bike as I'm going to change them as there not as good as I would like. I'm not exactly light so need some powerful ones. Also how do I know what hub I need? I don't want to buy them and they don't fit. But if I did can I buy an adaptor? Also, In the above kit do I get both front and rear or just the front?

Cheers, Benni.

hello mate. The M6 is not a good brake TBH. I found that the mini and M4 MONO are MUCH better. The M6 feels much more mushy, and wasnt as powerful, so i ditched mine.

I have some MINT mono M4's for sale if you need them? they are last years Gold and black ones which are MUCH nicer IMO. If you need any bits just ask, as im a mechanic in a bike shop and get staff discount.

also, any 6 bolt hub will fit, and that price is for one mate

Only thing you have to be careful of the rotor sizes. Too big a rotor wont fit in some forks/frames. let me know what ya got.

The Moto V2 http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/K...?ModelID=15613

They are very nice looking and more powerful. Also there are lots of positives to having fewer pistons as possible. The 6 pistons are just for cosmetics.

Hope this helps?

I will take a photograph tonight if that's ok with you mate and show you my wheel? I won't be buying some until about the 6th of october as that's when my birthday is, so if you still have some then I will buy them.

Cheers, benni.
