RE: Nut / bolt marking

Tire pens and paint pens work the best. Just a dot or little strip across the exposed end of the bolt where it comes thru the nut will work.

RE: Brake conversion Carbon to steel - need to source calipers and rotors

Posted by: John Parsons Richard, with a new set of 280mm steel rotors in hand, if you can provide dimensions, I'll be able to work out if Wilwood stuff might work. The biggest problem I see with Wilwo...

Picture heavy post. The front and rear rotors are the same, as are the hats. Here are the dimensions of the rotors: Attachment : IMG_2673.jpeg Attachment : IMG_2672.jpeg Attachment :...

RE: Harness replacement/setup - crotch strap questions

We never got a chance to discuss them. After reading here and looking at the system more, I'll be shortening the straps where they mount so that the adjustment buckles are under the seat and then I'l...

RE: Brake conversion Carbon to steel - need to source calipers and rotors

Posted by: CharleyH Richard, I would double check some of your information. The 260mm and 280mm Radical Rotors are both 25mm thick according to the sales literature. Charley Aaarrrgghhhh! Soooooooo.....

RE: Brake conversion Carbon to steel - need to source calipers and rotors

It looks like the 21mm thick rotor is the standard thickness regardless of a 280 or 300 mm diameter for the SR8 and SR3 so I’d not be worried dropping down to their width too terribly much. If you can...

RE: Brake conversion Carbon to steel - need to source calipers and rotors

The pistons are the same diameters but they are an insulated item - have a secondary piece in each piston which I'm guessing is an insulator. Being that I've not actually seen a steel setup caliper I...

RE: Brake conversion Carbon to steel - need to source calipers and rotors

Finally talked to someone in the technical department at Radical this morning. Changing things out is a lot easier than I thought it was going to be. I'll have to make new bobbins to change the offse...

RE: Brake conversion Carbon to steel - need to source calipers and rotors

I found one Wilwood rotor that uses a 10 on 173mm - and of course I can't find it now. The problem with the Wilwood is that it's only .81" (21mm) wide while we're using 1" (25.4mm). I measured the ca...

RE: Good God these things are fun!

So here's the off I mentioned in another thread. Good grief it snapped suddenly. Stop the video at 2:31 - I'm not the first to do this! Not the right way to start the day

Continuation of the above post. I had about 45 minutes of research, part numbers, prices and such listed and internet poof-ka-boom happened when I hit send. I've measured the front brake system on my...

RE: Brake conversion Carbon to steel - need to source calipers and rotors

If I understand correctly the 300mm rotors fit in the 15” rims. I am basing this assumption from Radical offering a 300 mm upgrade kit for both front and rear. Same rotors & hats (BD0068), and br...

RE: Brake conversion Carbon to steel - need to source calipers and rotors

Does anyone happen to have a 300mm and/or 280mm rotor sitting around that I can get some measurements from? I'd like to know width and the inner diameter of both the braking surface and the mounting r...
