NC23 Brake upgrade

[wonderbot]

Hi...Not posted for a while but just require a bit of advice with my NC23 track bike rebuild...Just doing the brakes and was wondering weather to get em refurbed or swap em for something else...any suggestions welcome...av seen someone on here that does refurbs but before I go down that route I wondered if there was a good upgrade.

Also interested to know - would rather 4-pots over the sliders. Maybe someone makes an adapter plate to fit NC30 calipers?

I'd like to know also. Mine are barely adequate

You can fit the nc30 lowers to the nc23 stanctions.. then you can plug and play the nc30 callipers

works a treat..

To improve braking further you can fit a master cylinder from a bigger bike such as a fireblade as they have larger pistons in them to move the fluid down the line..

To improve things further Rick Oliver does some adapter plates so that you can fit a certain brembo caliper. Think its the one with 2 bolts going through the pads..

In fact I have a spare set of nc30 calipers with the brake hoses, master cylinder and lever all complete.

They do need a good going over, taking apart regreasing and cleaning the pistons etc.

I'm fitting nc29 wheels to my bike will these be ok if I fitted the nc30 lowers?
and would I use the front spindle and spacers I have now or the nc30 ones?
also would I need the front mud guard off a nc30?
and last but not least how much are you looking at for the calipers?

I'll have an idea of the cost then to compare with just having the nc23 callipers refurbed ....

Full caliper rebuild, EBC ductile iron discs, performance friction pads, braided lines, silicon fluid and a CBR1000RR radial master cylinder did it for me and all pretty cheap thanks to 400GB and a few mates.

Stops like crazy but there is magnificent feel in the brakes as well.

I have found a set of NSR250 4 pots i am fitting them to the NC23 racebike , its looking like a simple convertion so far but i havnt actually fitted them yet , just done a few measurments and stuff.

Keep us updated!

there is nothing wwrong with the sliding calipers as long as they have had a full rebuild.

I have standard calipers, EBC discs, Carbone lorrain pads, HEL lines and CBR6 master cylinder, fantastic feel and will easily lift the back wheel under hard braking...

dont put caliper adapters on all you are doing is adding unsprung weight.
