I got mine about 2 1/2 years back when the pound was strong and before the world realised that McBroon had helped ruin our economy. Paid about £180 + import tax (30-35?) All the usual matt black parts were shiny (and still are) Chrome on hub still good. The hose that came with it was crap, but not as crap as the standard item, but was still put straight in the bin. I use HEL hoses about £20 with all stainless fittings.

As usual it came poorly packaged wrapped in a sweaty old T-Shirt with no instructions. However, you shouldn't need instructions to fit one. Mine was bought via ebay and was sent from the imaginary wharehouse in Lowestoft. Needless to say it took a while to arrive. Because of this I managed to negotiate a change of switch housing. The one listed was for series two but I needed Italian GP. Randall changed this for me.

Despite the problems I have with the ScootRS tubeless rims and Randall's general deranged behaviour. The disc brake remains something I would recommend. However, I'll be going to Frank or a UK manufacturer in the future.

yeah, brake leaver sheared off in my hand when breaking behind a lorry, just missed it but went into concrete water main. F**ed scoot and back! Got nothing off scootrs or Randall apart from excuses. Do yourself a favor buy from someone in the Uk that has comeback...You pays yer money yer takes yer chances as i found out, but then i am probably a tad biased...

what you actually got, most of all does it work .

You get the chromed hub with disc and polished alloy caliper assembled, the polished alloy master cylinder with polished alloy lever and polished light switch housing to suit your model and a stainless steel hydraulic brake hose. It's pretty much remove your existing parts and bolt on the new one. The only difficult parts are drilling a hole in your headset for the brake hose and then sometimes they're a pain to bleed. They work very well far better than an inboard disc, sometimes too well, you have to be gentle with the pressure on the lever, grab a handful and it's not too difficult to lock the front end up.
You'll pay around £275 from UK dealers, a few weeks ago the exchange rate of pound to dollar (you actually pay in dollars) dropped about 10%, many dealers stop buying when this happens and sit tight until the pound goes back up again, so they become scarce when this happens especially if it remains low for a while or even drops further, the alternative is to keep buying but increase prices accordingly.

I couldn't get mine to bleed, air bubbles just kept coming through. In the end I just filled the reservoir and tied the brake lever down and left it over night as I'd read somewhere that the air would rise if left. Works fine after that. Also read (afterwards) about removing the lever and pushing the plunger by hand as you can push it in further.

The trick I learned when bleeding my anti dive version was to gently smack the master cylinder and or the brake lever with a rubber mallet.
Each time I did this, a bubble came up from the plunger area, I continued to actuate the handle slightly, then smack, then pull again.
Eventually, I removed all of the air, I'd guess about 30 hits, and this was after filling the hose below.
I tried the mityvac pump, it didn't work well.
The small one way bleeder nipples do work, they certainly helped.
