Careful of the spindle threads and the scootrs nuts, very tight, not quite right on the last 2 I've had. Overall its a good brake.

Got a ScootRS inboard disc on my scooter.Changed the pads for sintered ones and fitted reverse pull with an SR thick front cable,its a good brake and a lot better than a standard drum brake.One issue I had with the disc when I bought it was,the three pins that the disc floats on were loose,I had to remove them and fix them in using loctite.This problem isn't an isolated one,my brother got one at the same time and the pins were loose on his,I've since heard of other people having the same problem,so if you get one be aware of this.

I bought one and the groove for the circlip that holds actuator in place was too shallow allowing the circlip to pop out with the actuator when operated.

Sold it on to be converted to hydraulic operation.
Did you have to do that?
