what do we know about this Brembo

guy851

I would like to mount it underslung on a floating bracket with my torsion arm and a 220 or a 245mm disc.

But no luck yet

Any ideas?

Thanks Guy851

This Brembo rear caliper made by Motor quality is a copy of the original Brembo small size fitted on Racing bikes. Good item ... It still exists in gold color.
The piston diameter is identical to the original one.

I've got one fitted on my Racing 94 and an original Brembo on my 93.
This original one is so difficult to find at time !!!

You need a different bracket, according to the rear disk diameter.

Racing bikes fitted a 245 mm disk, (except on Roche's bikes ...), thinner in 1994 !!!

Here are 2 pics of the different brackets dated 1993 and 1994, with and without carbon "torsion arm" as original models ...

Hope it helps ???

245mm rear disc on the racing bikes phil? are you sure? i think you'll find the road bikes had a 245mm rear disc with most race bikes running with a 220mm rear rotor, some had a 200mm i believe too.

Jasper I think you've been ripped off there mate. Did you pay full price for half a disk? 😁 That is the least disk area I've ever seen. Does it have any effect, or is it just a cosmetic thing for MOT. "Yes mate it has front and rear brakes"😏

Whats the point of having Mag wheels and loads of carbon if you are going to weigh it all down with a heavy disc!!😉

It actually does work and very well. I will be looking at replacing it with the Brake tech one i think,when they actually make some.They just look more in keeping with the bike!Although i do like this one.

Long time ago, I discovred that pic from Foggy's bike.
Small caliper, very small bracket, no rod etc ...
I collected infos, a detailed pic and made an exact copy of that bracket by myself ...

Phils Brake mounting plate

Phil,

Perhaps you could just make up another one to suit a 220mm disc and drop it in the post for me, i would be most grateful 😄

Oh and if you could sleeve in the pivot point in steel and let it float a little so I can fit a torsion arm even better 😏

Thanks in advance

Griff,
I've got one of those discs on my bike, as Jasper has said they work fine.
They're made by Moto-Master of Holland (who supply discs to the works Kawasaki MotoX team) weigh at least 50% lighter than the standard 851/888 item.
I doubt the pads would last long on them, but since I hardly ever use the rear brake I haven't found it a problem.
If I hadn't fitted this disc with new pads, I'd still be running the original pads fitted from new, which are still good to use after well over 20,000 miles.
I won't fit Mag wheels to a road bike but have fitted lightweight discs, sprocket, lightened sprocket carrier/cush drive and Titanium nuts 'n' bolts.

So how is the other mass reduction going then. How many lbs do you weigh this week, and are you going to be a good boy at Xmas?

Hi Griff,
Last Sunday I weighed in at a 35lbs loss, (After just short of 3 months) I'm going to keep up the good work till Xmas, then have a 'Blow Out'...
Recreational drugs, Booze and rich food to excess, then return to my efforts in the New Year.
The race leathers now fit, so the 1st target has been achieved...
Big personal slap on the back for me!
But I've now set a new target of wearing them with my thermals and a sweatshirt underneath, so another 7-14lbs before next June and the annual TT Pilgrimage.
I should be down into the 180lbs bracket then, the upside is that my joints aren't hurting anywhere near as much as they were, I'm still on the painkillers but I've cut the dose in 1/2.
I visit the Doc's next week for the cholesterol check and the weigh in, I'm looking forward to that, I don't think the Quack (Doc) thought that I could do it.

We currently are being bombarded by powers that be, with an ad campaign. The subject being, that a 94cm (37") waist line or above, and you are going to die a horrible slow death. As well as the increased risk in primary pump failure. There must be something in it, otherwise why bother telling us.

Guy,

If you want to get the bracket for free, don't hesitate !!!
It's useless for me now, on the way to the bin, soon ...
