Hi guys,
quick one about brake discs with offset
I'm building up a ZX10R front end, but due to the expense of a ZX10R wheel I have a ZX6R F wheel (95-97).
The F wheel turns out to be 4mm thinner between the two disc faces
This means the discs are 2mm closer to the inner pad on each side than they are to the outer pad.
Is there any reason I cant use a spacer under that plastic bit inside the piston to push the outer pads in 2mm further so that they're centred?
Alternative would be having some 2mm longer pistons made for the outer sides so the pads were closer on the outer, compensating for the inner's being nearer the disc.
cheers,
Steve
