101 Disc Brake Conversion

<< < (2/2)

thermidorthelobster:
With the weight of mine, I used to find braking with just drum brakes all round was a bit hairy.  By the time you'd got to the bottom of a big hill (the one at Dartmeet being a case in point) you were seriously hoping nothing would jump out in front of you.  The brakes were adjusted OK but the weight of the thing was just too great by the time they'd braked you to the bottom of a big hill.

Putting discs on the front meant the thing would stop no matter how steep the hill, without any fading.  It still took a lot of effort but at least it would!

tomarse:
What discs and calipers does the zeus kit use? (i assume they are std ones machined to fit the 101 hubs?)

There was talk within the 101 club of making their own conversion.  If your friend's in the club it might be worth asking.

I dont think anyone is working on a conversion at the moment, though if anybody were to want to do it and could find the discs and calipers to fit, and then do some measuring up, Steve T would probably be willing to machine them as required.
