Terminator Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Sounds an excellent idea Tony. I am just about to put new discs and Endless CC-X pads on my rear UK callipers. Any temperature stickers you would recommend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLicense Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 I know Demon Tweeks use to sell AP temperature stickers as I've bought them from there before. To be honest though they'll all be much of a muchness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 What would be the ideal temperature range? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLicense Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 It will be dependant upon a number of things such as the boiling temperature of the brake fluid, and the pad material. Going from memory if you're running temps regularly over 200 degs C on the caliper, then you'll probably be needing to re-furbish the seals more regularly. The biggest difference you'll want to see front to back is about 25 degs C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted July 27, 2010 Author Share Posted July 27, 2010 Got a couple of weights too. Stock front discs (used) were 9.0kg AP Discs & bells (new) were 9.0kg Stock calipers & used pads were 7.2kg AP calipers/pads/brackets/bolts were 5.2kg So no savings on the discs & 2.0kg savings on the calipers (total 4.0kg on the front) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 The road kits use a cheaper disc, that's rather heavy. You may find a race disc that fits the bells in their, Alcon's, or Brembo's range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
