Scooterotica

Ok, one question specially for all you racers...

If money was no object, which one would be your pic and why:

The PM tuning one:

The Rich Presley "innovations" disc:

The Spaq one that everyone talks about..

The semi hydraulic?

The so well renouned and respected ScootRS one?

Or a different one that I dont know about....

i bought the pm double disk brake with anti dive because they are in the
uk and the look the dogs when fitted or like the miss's say i am a knob
with money and spend too much on scooters..... she might be right

Semi Hydraulic for me- retains standardish looks

The PM and Innovations disc are both from Frank Sanderson, just different specs. I have a single disc a/dive from Frank/PM and a ScootRS (upgrading to a/dive) I think it all depends on how far from standard and how close to "trick" you want to go, apart from that Spaq shite.

soulsurfer which one in your opinion works better between the PM Tuning and the ScootRS one? and why?

I think braking wise the RS is more than whats needed for what we do..the double anti dive jobby is major overkill IMO for what we do..not the racing lads.

Frank's single disc every time. Non anti-dive with stiff springs for most applications, anti-dive if you've got a balls out racer or want softer springs. The double I think is overkill but suited well for some fast automatic conversions or insane HP geared bikes.

Precision made, well engineered, consistent fit and finish, excellent components, well priced.

I'm sure there are other well made kits out there. I've heard good things about the LTH, the old MB kits, and the ESP kits which I'm not sure are made any longer.

our racer uses the LTH with anti dive,and it is extremely good.

Difficult to say as I've not got the anti-dive for the ScootRS one yet, but the PM type feels great and is not as sharp as the RS one, however this may feel different once the anti-dive is fitted. Also, I think worth mentioning is that the PM is a pig to remove wheels, I dread a front flat by the roadside. Nobody seems to mention that the PM one also require the tyre valve pointing the opposite way. If using tubes, this means reversing the tube, pulling it over, and it requires rubber washers placing under the valve to drop the valve further into the rim so that it clears the calliper, not ideal at all. The tubeless hub version is better but again the valve is turned until it touches the rim. The hubs don't cater for split and tubeless. Again not used RS anti-dive yet so don't know about wheel removal, they are universal for split and tubeless though. So for simplicity, ScootRS.

Double disc is overkill but anti-dive isn't just for racers, it really does make a difference as you don't need stiff springs, so you can have it nice and soft for the bumps, without diving when braking. We all know how awful sudden braking feels with standard front suspension, anti dive cures this.

All this is IMO but I hope it helps
