front brakes???
« on: January 12, 2006, 05:02 PM »
Ok, I'm a complete novice but what brakes do I need on the front of a 99 GT Performer? U, V, which one's which as neither looks like a U or a V, centerpull? sidepull?

I'm proper confused, what ever happen to the plain old diacompe caliper??

get a U brake on there
if the lugs arent there, get a U Brake plate.

fly brakes are said to be the best you will get for £50 you should expect it too .. if your not willing to pay that and want a cheapo brake the diacompes are as good as oddyssey and primo's but for half the price... plus you get a brand with a long herritage of good brakes
