Another misconception is that if you uprate your front brakes, you need to uprate the rears too. In fact better front brakes mean that there's more weight transfer to the front under hard braking than with standard brakes, which in turn means the rears do even less as a proportion of the overall braking. Drums are fine unless you really want the improved aesthetic of discs.. | |

If you have a new brake bias valve fitted at the same time as the rear discs then you can adjust the braking force down so that the rear discs are still only as powerfull as rear drums. | |

makes the arse end unstable under heavy braking specially round corners can cause the rear to lockup and catch up with the front end!!!! | |

from what i hear it upsets the brake balance as back brakes only do 20% of braking but the huge positive about it is that they look the dogs dangly's! | |
