Toby S Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I agree with RogerI've found the Moss Europe discs are fine with Mintex 1144 front pads and the uprated caterham rears, plus upgraded brake fluid and a well bled system (the latter point is key) - no probs in locking the fronts on a standard master cylinder and good feedback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mossy7 Posted May 23, 2017 Author Share Posted May 23, 2017 Well.. £7 is better than £26 from CC... what is the part to.look for from Moss Europe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Ford Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 GBD154 It's actually £7.60+VAT, sorry about that!There's also a "Geomet" version for a few pence more, which is supposed to have a special anti-rust coating. I'm a bit suspicious of that and use the standard ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Jonathan Kay Posted May 24, 2017 Member Share Posted May 24, 2017 Is it really warped ... or fitted with a bit of grit between it and the hub. Disks don't generally warp. It may also be pad pick up with a bit of pad material adhered to the surface of the disc .... long hot stop then remaining stationary with foot on pedal for a few seconds. This burns the friction material on to the face of the disc ... and goes clonk every rotation thereafter.I understand the bit about pad material, but what's the best way to test for oblique mounting rather than a high spot or other distortion?Is a steel rule at 90° a good enough edge to distinguish between them? (For bikes I use the point of a pencil clamped to a retort stand.)ThanksJonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SM25T Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 A fixed reference point or clock gauge will demonstrate any run out. I would remove the disc and clean mating faces very carefully and finish by wiping with paper towel and meths or brake disc cleaner to remove all traces from the cleaning operation.

mossy7 Posted May 24, 2017 Author Share Posted May 24, 2017 Has any one tried these from Moss Europe? They appear to be same fitting and size as Gbd154 as recommended by Roger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SM25T Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Believe all those grooves and holes may accelerate pad wear ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that isn't quite what I was asking... and approximately none of us have dedicated gauges.Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
