brakes

[General Baxter]

whats the biggest set of brakes i can fit behind the nova gsi 3 spoke,

dont want to be grinding anything or spacing out :thumb:

Std nova 236.
I've heard 256 fit with worn pads etc, but i cant see it myself.

[nova~norm]

nova gsi ones

iirc

Id get a set of 14" SR steelies sprayed up as 256's go under em (just). Sleeper look

[Adam]

Ye, a set of SR steelies sprayed grey would look cool.

i belive that the corsa GSI brakes will go on. they are 256*20mm, they use the slimmer 236mm calipers on extended mountings.... gotta be worth a try lol

[Riggy]

mine wouldnt fit behind them stu , might have if the pads were worn though

[Stuart]

were you trying to fit normal valver brakes though? (the 24mm thick discs)

Most SR steelies are only 5j width, the 5.5j versions are the ones which will clear.

check if wheel spacers would help. But I think the profile of the rim won't do you too many favours

Would 236 GSi calipers with green stuff pads be as effective as 256s with standard items?

[Stuart]

im going to find out if brembro drilled discs and mintex 1155's in 236*20mm size work as well as a 256 track setup lol.

Tbh, id doubt it.
The 256 calipers have bigger pistons, so more force to press the pad onto the discs.
