Hi

Many years ago, I raced in Group 4 and used an inboard hydraulic system. I thought it was great - powerful, controllable, easy. In the last 6 months I've tried to scooters with the outboard version and HAVE NOT BEEN IMPRESSED. It could have been that they weren't setup properly, but I didn't like them.

I am going to buy an inboard version for my road lambretta that I will also race in street class, from Readspeed I think. It costs £99, so is much cheaper and I think it looks the business.

Oh, and I was at Mallory practice the other week, and if Bob West can blast around on his 20year old + group 4, faster than a lot of the younger lads and newer machinery using an inboard brake, then it's good enough for me !

PS, I haven't tried the ones you posted the pic of, these just fit in with a circlip I think. Personally, I would prefer the screw-in type and definitely fit braided hoses.

Let us know how you get on.
