really?

I think the cost is excessive and would rather have seen a lower taper bearing set up. However if the cones and bearings are in good condition, greased and tightened properly I don't see the need for a taper set on a lambretta.

The top bearing is the one which takes all the braking force and its a good upgrade, the taper bearings themselves are about 25 quid.
I have em but I'm sick of spending money just now! Maybe next year.

as i suggested earlier a conversion aimed at a slightly higher performance market, my gp has over 50bhp and gets upto speed quickly, hence i do have to brake hard at times, and ive had to adjust the front cone a few times, thats why i will fit one of these when i have it apart, probably a bit overkill on a standard machine thats not ridden hard.
