How to Improve NC29 Braking?

my bike is fitted with 19x20 Brembo Brake Master, Brembo Floating Disk Brake Calipers, Brembo Brake Pads, Goodridge Steel braided brake lines. the stopping power is freaking amazing.

I got the stuffs for almost USD$500 from a friend of mine. The parts were actually from his old R6 and GSXR600 race bike. :D

it was a bad thing that his Marchesini Mag Wheels won't fit in my NC29. He sells for only 1000USD for a pair.

Ive got a little project underway on my mate's NC23 - the same thing has dramaticaly improved the wet and dry braking on my NC24 - and also looks Rather Cool!

Total cost - 2 hours, £2....

Pictures when its done....

Here you go - tried and tested on my NC24 for the last 7 months - now on my mates NC23:

Wheel out, discs marked and cut carefully - trimmed, washed and back in... now work wet or dry, no fading or disc blueing (the cutouts cause turbulence in the airflow around the disc allowing them to cool quicker, round discs are too slick thro the air and heat up) tried and tested wavy disc MotoGP technology.... Cost? £2 for a cutting disc... Discs are cheap enough on eBay if you have an MOT coming (paid £27 posted for my last pair...), plus they do look stunning! Round discs are just soooooooo passe, so been done already... :D

Good job, but I think it will reduce brealing, but not improve due to less breaking area of the disks.

Not a bad idea.

As I understand things:
This will keep things cooler, increasing feel and braking capability through not over heating and maintaining a more stable temp.

On the down side the metal of the discs may be a bit softer than those designed to run 'wave' forms and could wear faster.

I'd do it.

Would be good if you could go out and do a track day and give us a report on pads and discs wear versus feel versus stopping power.

Not overly bothered about more wear on pads or discs to be honest? Replacement discs etc are cheap enough, Im just happy with being able to stop! :) The waves keep the pads and discs clear of water & glaze by the constant scrub every time you brake, jobs a good'un!

i found that a std freash m/c kit, new caliper piston seals, braided lines and sbs sintered pads are easilly capable of lifting the back wheel, anything more is overkill in my opinion. doesn't mean that upgrades aren't better, just std equiped brakes are more than capable.

if the rear wheel isn't in the air your not trying hard enough. :)

Indeed! I'd rather be overbraked than underbraked... A complete rebuild would do the job tho - just a lot of messing around when you could be riding? "if its not broke dont fix it...."
