Need new discs

Post by duggyr »

i am going to have to change my front discs because the bike shop say they are warped and this is the cause of brake judder.
ECB prolight xc seem to be a popular choice but they are lighter than OEM Honda standard discs that are on the bike at present . is the lighter front end going to cause problems with ride and handling?

Um yes... the lower rotational mass will make the bike handle better!

:grin: ok, no your new discs will work wonders. Standard discs are very good tho and for most not worth upgrading if you can find a good 2nd hand set.
