Can anyone tell me wot are the best old school brakes to use. There for my 85 sterrt beat. The ones on there at the moment are crap :daumenhoch: I want to use it a bit more but dont want to die  :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol:

DIRTBIKER250F:
Check my for sales thread in the for sale threads, nice pitbull  :daumenhoch:

rooski:
get plenty lube in the cable, make a big difference :daumenhoch:

nosepickben:
Yeah lube everything properly, boa or nippon up front, put a bit of extra spring on a nippon by disconnecting the thick wire spring and ragging it outwards a bit before refitting, shouldn't need to do that to a boa. AD990 if lugged or a pitbull if not for the rear. Pitbulls can be buggers to set up, don't really know why, such simple things really. Keep cable line as straight to it as poss + use trial and error with blocks... Good luck!

Wadz:
i used dc 901's at first on mine, work spot on when set up correctly, only thing is you cant spin bars , then had dc bulldogs with gyro( couldnt get enough brake pressure)
now ive got acs boa's and asc rotor ( smooth as and they work a treat)
