Hey guys, slowly collecting parts for a couple of '80 Motomag builds.....
So which brakes are better, Dia-compe 890 or the Weinmann equivalent?

Good one that. Had Weinmanns and they were good. Diacompe prob more inline with a usa built bike.

I went with dia compe's and they work fine - also weinmann 974's do a great job
both have the right look

unless you're using motomags then i'd go with no calipers at all and just have the coaster

I would go with a Dia Compe 890. If you decide to run both a coaster and caliper.
