Juuuuust to be clear.

They are for sale on Camlam, but not made by them etc, they are simply resold by them.

The pepper pot front discs at 250 ish are vietnamese. Im not really prepared to say more about them :-/

Thanks Donnie - that's enough for me ....

Don't just judge on my experience, though it wasn't good and was a fairly early one where it wasn't possible to get tubeless rims on one?

Normal rims fitted it, tubeless didn't. Tried a normal drum front and both tubed and tubeless fitted, so basically the radius on the pepper pot needed reducing slightly

Others' may have had better experience or the same. Personally I have one of these, in fact ive had a couple on differennt scooters with no issues. http://www.lambretta.co.uk/shop/disc-br ... -3302.html
on saying that the rubber hose is crap so you'll need to get or make up a bespoke one to get best benefit.

Thanks - I'll look into those

Donnie on that particular brake setup, is your wheel absolutely central in the fork. Same gap on each side etc?

[Donnie]

probably an offset of between 3 to 5mm if that, not been a problem for the last 10 or so years it's been on there though.
Seems a common theme with outboard discs though, think some use washers to space things but I didnt bother as it was close enough that its barely noticable unless you look real close and, as I say, in practice it makes no difference to the handling.

Ok cheers

I've got a Saigon SC "pepper-pot" style one that won't fit on my Sip rim [as per Donnie} but I've got a Spaq one that fits fine.

Phew, i'm really glad you have just said that Martin as I was panicking over the Spaq one you sold me.
