Disk Break conversion
Posted: Sat Oct 11, 2008 5:00 pm
Greetings all,
I've discovered that Lady's front break adjusters are shot. They are adjusted to their full capacity and refuse to be adjusted either up or down.
Now, I'm not to keen to spend money on getting it fixed, when I'm planning to do a disk break conversion anyway.
All it means is that my plans need to be advanced.
I've done a search on the site regarding breaks, and don't see much advice on doing a disk break conversion. So I would like your input.
Keeping in mind, that I only want to do the front breaks, these are my questions:
Where do I start, with regard to a conversion kit?
I would like to use my original rims. Is this possible?
Will I need a new or different break master-cylinder?
Your input would be appretiated, as I would like to get it done withing the next week or two.
