I have a Sterling/Spaq disc brake fitted, bought from Cambridge Lambretta and there is f*%k all wrong with it. Hope I don't regret these words. There, I said it.

Sorry, I was saying that there's any problems with the Sterling ones, just pointing out that the picture isn't a scootrs version.

Sorry corrado, I wasn't aiming that at you, more so the much debated Sterling v's Scootrs quality issue.

there is a difference between the high quality pressure cast ones as sold by scootrs etc and the sand cast low quality could break any moment versions , there was a write up in scootering a few months back on these.

Beedspeed sell the Sterling stuff which is not as good as Scootrs gear. IMO.

I'm in the US and was saying to a US scooter shop that I'm going to Brid, he asked me if Beedspeed where to be there and if so he'd give me some money 'to have a word with them' :o :shock:
