TLRS Posted October 23 Posted October 23 Expensive stuff tends to help with modulation. Like a good connection between the effort you put in and the retardation it gives. As for raw stopping power the friction rate of the pads is also important. Being fat might help, raises the centre of gravity Quote
clivegto Posted October 23 Author Posted October 23 Don't like the Slabside suspension setup on this so I'm going to use this NWS swinging arm. Got my mate Will to weld a scallop in to make clearance for the 6 inch R1 wheel with a 190 tyre fitted 3 Quote

Cheers, have done research on the subject in the paste this'll be the 4th one I've made and it's more abut getting it to fit the frame rather than the perfect design, sill got'a work though. Bit more done on it just need Will to do a little blue gun action again. 3 Quote

It's interesting but unless you're doing a scratch build for a full race set up not really relevant. As you say, the first priority is for it to fit otherwise it's just an ornament. Quote

A lot of people over think it which just isn't necessary for it to work well. Saying that though Mr @no classmade a fantastic one for his kat on hear. 1 Quote
