Lambretta inboard disc brake kit for drum links

[shocky]

??? racing is the hardest test of all........ never heard of one braking????

no need to bash ScootRS when its not warranted?

WTF? how can you possible say that ultimate test in what areas some but not all
tell me when you last rode your race scoot 300 miles 2 up with kit on a uneven road surface trying to avoid pot holes and wan3er drivers pulling out on you .. ahh though not

I think you misunderstand Paul, I don't have a problem with the ScootRS outboard with disc or drum type links, in fact it's probably more suited to the track than road with it's intense braking capability, but an inboard disc with the type of backplate shown here is a step backwards IMO, when Innocenti introduced this type of brake it was with a modified backplate possibly due to increased stresses exerted with this design.

you dont do 'emergency stops' on the track and drive over rough roads in pit villages in yorkshire,now that is testing!
the scootrs drum link disc is very good has anyone broke the locating 'dowel' off or snapped the drum link?

It has nothing to do with the "dowel" or "snapping the drum link"

I give up

Whatever....... when I ride my road bike ..... I'm not applying maximum braking for a hairpin every 30 seconds or so....... so I would therefore have said that racing is a pretty hard test.....

So....... you think ScootRS brakes are crap then do you Shocky?

Braking into a hairpin every lap is pretty much an emergency stop :biggrin: :biggrin: lol ?

are you expecting the slotted case to crack or break off?

yes a hard test under very controlled conditions i agree but with an umbrella of safety all around you and an inspection of the vehical by yourself and others at very regular intervals something which isnbt as apparent with road scooters
i think the scoot rs disc is excellent and have fitted these to my last 4 lambrettas and alot to others peoples scooters i recone they were/are responsible for saving alot of people from a major crash , i do think the master cylinder is rather to large and can cause the front to lock so its not really balanced but one you are used to it its ok i prefer and fit an AJP ones as they have more "feel" for me plus look alot better
here is a quote from the scootrs site made by me on the LCGB foum 4 yrs ago and one i still stand by
"Without doubt the the best thing I have ever bought for a scooter in 26 yrs (on and off). The first modification anyone should do in my opinion. Well made, good fit, etc, etc, in fact so good I have bought another for my GP."

yes i think he is the carrier plate on a "drum" type disc brake takes most if not all the loading when you brake on the new one it doesnt
another thing to consider is the peg on the right hand link (the bit that stops the back plate rotating) doesnt always sit fully into the hub so theirs less area taking all those forces ive noticed this on the drum type disc brakes and standard lambretta hubs but as of yet i havent seen one of these newer type fitted so cant comment just saying its something to look out for

diddnt early tv's have a bolted drum back plate with disc type links ...is it possible that the orriginal disc was made the same simply for practical reasons when introducing into the production line ???
