Hakster Posted May 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 thanks, was the redrilling alot of work?? The research was the hardest part, finding somewhere that will actually drill the parts and finding out what parts actually need to be drilled.

patroddy Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 The research was the hardest part, finding somewhere that will actually drill the parts and finding out what parts actually need to be drilled.why did you go for a redrill instead of adapters?

patroddy Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 Have you seen how perfectly they fit in the front arches? There's your answer true! they make the brakes look tiny though needs bigger brakes now aha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hakster Posted May 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 why did you go for a redrill instead of adapters? Have you seen how perfectly they fit in the front arches? There's your answer I did have 15mm adapters at the front for 2 weeks, they sat out quite far and it would rub occasionally when turning.As Koop says, they sit just right without adapters.Now you mention it, the brakes do look a bit small don't they...
