I know there are some re-made disc brakes available now. Does anyone have any opinions as to which are the best. I'm not referring to hydraulic conversions, just those made to resemble the original Innocenti/Campagnolo type.

I have a ScooRS front inboard disc on my series 3.I've had it on for over 2 years now and it works as it should.When I bought it I fitted a set of Newfren sintered pads and a reverse pull cable from SR.

sintered are OK but noisy in use. TBH I found no difference between sintered and a good pair of original pads.

Did you buy the lot direct from SR? Do you mind telling me how much? And did you get nobbled for import duty (as I did when I bought as seat)

I bought the disc brake from Chiselspeed for just under £200 and got the rest from SR.I had a hydraulic inboard disc before this one and this one seems a lot better.
