Brembo rear "hidden" caliper mod, list of calipers

[AZmidget91]

Tomorrow is ASB's last day....

 

[onerun]

Awesome info guys.. saved me a lot of time looking around and trying to peace this mod together

 

[AZmidget91]

I was off a month on asb's last day by the way...april 15th...

 

[onerun]

Well that was kinda crazy.... $295.00 for that kit!!!

 

[AZmidget91]

Worth it, if you want new parts, you can't beat that price, I tried. If you want used parts, you can get a caliper for cheap, and if you use the older smaller p32 caliper you can use the stock brake line.

 

[onerun]

I got the kit from the link off page 6.... it does not say what caliper I'm getting.....

 

[onerun]

I really don't want to change that line out

 

[AZmidget91]

The asb kit comes with a p34 caliper, caliper mount, and a new line.

 

[Dellinger]

There are plenty of P32 calipers for $100-125. The P34 is $150 max ant those are both for new with pads. Flip the brake line over for the P32, new line for the 34. Either way you'll need a new banjo bolt for the Brembo and washers.

 

[onerun]

Where do I get the right banjo bolt?

 

[AZmidget91]

New, they usually come with the banjo bolt, at least mine did.

 

[onerun]

Oh awesome... so I have nothing to worry about

 

[onerun]

We will see in a few days. I will post what I get with pictures as well... I also have a new belly pan and head Light inserts

onerun, and or anyone else, any word on if the kit from http://osc.faddybike-deutschland.de (mentioned on page 6) has the P32 or P34 Brembo caliper? If it's the P34 it probably came with a new brake line right? It doesn't explicitly say on their site, if it did though I would guess it's the P34, the statement "Including all nessary screws etc" on their site leaves that open a little bit so I'm very curious about it all.

 

[AZmidget91]

That is a P32 in the pictures of their kit

So I recently discovered that my brembo hidden caliper does not align perfectly as it should. The brake pad hangs off the rotor by maybe 1/16" to 1/8" and as it wore the pad has a lip that overhangs the rotor. So the pad is sort of L shaped. It hangs up on the rotor a bit and basically always rides the rotor instead of springing back. I guess the bracket isn't perfectly positioned? Kind of annoying as it makes a mess of brake dust and chews through pads and of course wearing on the rotor.

Anyone else have this happen? I think I have about 4000 miles on these rear pads and they are completely worn away. I'd think they should last a lot longer than that.

 

[Cooter]

I don't have the mod, but you have a couple different issues there

The pad hanging off the OD of the rotor may be a pad issue, or bracket issue, but shouldn't really affect much.

The dragging is a completely different problem. I'd pull the piston out of the caliper and clean it, and the seal very well.

 

[snrusnak]

I rebuilt the caliper before install. What's happening is as it wears to the L shape since it overhangs the rotor, the lip hangs on the rotor and the pad "sticks". At no fault of the caliper though...

Hey guys, so I did the mood and it looks great but I'm supper pissed! The caliper started leaking all over the place. Have not contacted them yet but I will be tomorrow once I get all the paper work together. Also a fyi the braking power was way less then stoke. Now I know it was not going to be a improvement but I would think it would be the same. Now I got a new phone in between doing that mood but the only thing need was the washers for the brake line boult and a C clips for the pin that holds the brake pads in.

Lol sorry for the auto spell check lol new phone
