Default Rear disc conversion

Guys

Looking to fit a rear disc conversion to my S1, but have no idea what bias brake valve to use. Don't mind buying a new one rather than take a cast off from somewhere else, which one do I use ?

Thanks.

i have read the best bet is to use standard motorfactor discs and pads ,which eliminates the need to use a bias valve as their braking performance will be lesser than performance discs and pads .

I'd rather run a bias valve James - at least that way it's done properly and I can run whatever I want. You may well be right, but it limits what I can and can't use and for 'ha'peth of tar' it's better to do the job properly.

fully understand matey

i bought some brackets to put 4pot aps on the back of my 2wd saff .mr rainbird told me it would be ok if i had 4wd as the wheels are mecahnically connected but on a 2wd i would have to bias it that much away from the back i was wasting my money on 4 pot aps as the standards would do fine
