Prodrive Alcon brakes / upgrade
Hi folks
After some brake advice… I currently have the Prodrive Alcon brake kit on my RA and the discs are now a bit worn, just past the point of being ok for skimming. So I’m after some new discs and pads!!
Does anyone know if it has to be specific Prodrive Alcon discs and pads to replace them? Or can I fit different discs that are the same size (330 or 335mm I think, need to double check)
The callipers are perfect but I think the Alcon discs are pretty expensive… Do you think I should sell the callipers and buy a whole new set or try and find replacements? If so where is the best place to get them?
Any help / advice on options much appreciated!
Ps.. I spotted theres a similar question couple threads below this :P but wanted to check whether it has to be prodrive ones and what ppl's thoughts were
Cheers
Dennis

Check out Godspeed, Ian makes a set of aluminium bells, with seperate discs, so that next time the discs are worn you can simply replace the discs, and not the bells.... he has an ad on the top of the page from time to time..!!

Hi Ian, I sent you a PM last night and you replied with the group buy price for replacement discs and pads.
Just looking over my options today and tomorrow before i splash out this weekend, I'm not sure if i should spend more or less 500 quid on replacement discs and pads or sell my callipers and go for one of the group buy setups - Theres a few just now from D2 and K-sport etc all around £650 for the 330mm setup and 6 pot callipers. I take it its not possible to keep existing bell? and just swap the disc? Are the replacements you have official prodrive ones or?
Any advice would be great
Thanks
Dennis.
