Yeah, i hear you but the vtr lower leg thing is pony and really is a waste of time, you were looking for a way to fit 4 pots with-out brackets, the nc30 comes with 4 pots as standard, some on here swear by the standard calipers, if rebuilt & set up properly.
Say what-ever you think but ive stuck with the standard nc30 legs, gone for the SP1 caliper upgrade & used the RO brackets - amazing upgrade as far as im concerned.
I rebuilt my late nc30 forks with a pregressive spring kit, new everything internaly & then had the lowers powder-coated along with the brackets & used button head bolts. looks very nice, blends in well & does NOT look "bodged up" the VTR calipers are not really an upgrade so its pointless all round for me.

I hear what you're saying. Perhaps this has more relevance to nc23/29/27/31 guys, then.
