Good work. You're probably braver than I am at having a go.

Can I ask what rear disks and calipers you've gone for? I'm looking to upgrade both front and rear and as I have 17" front wheels and 18" rear wheels, I see an opportunity to upgrade in size too. But it seems upgrades for the rears are quite hard to find.

Good luck for tomorrow!

Hi thanks .
I just went for new standard Dimand grooved discs and mintex pads it's no use over braking the rear :-) imo the 4 pots and 300mm discs are good enough for hill climbs and sprinting ?
