Hello all,

Just wondering if someone can tell me if the hubs on the metro turbo disc brakes (8.4" vented) bolt straight onto the mini, or do i have to go and buy mini disc hubs, or modify the metro ones??? :? :?

cheers,
Pierre

they will bolt on but change the geometry i think so your better off with mini ones

Maybe we should make this a sticky as it comes up a bit. As benjamin said the do bolt on with the right swivel pins but radically change your steering geomtry causing horrendous bump steer. This can be cured by using negative camber lower etc but not completely. It is so much easier and safer to use the Mini item to which you can directly bolt the callipers etc..

Maybe a new forum with "Accepted wisdom" or popular mods, like honda discs, pulsar dizzies, etc. It could be locked to prevent adding topics, just threads moved by a moderator.
