Sorry for $hit quality but I didn't have time to mince about setting up night mode/flash etc lol So I adjusted the hue and saturation on PS to show the glowing disc :wtf: Is it the slides sticking in the caliper? I can't be ****d to check it yet, will wait 'till the weekend :thumb:

Don't know what they are yet LLTN lol

Probably though, 14SR - and going from past experience, I'll wager you sir. would be correct! :thumbs:

What's the going rate on ATE then? Must be bigger than standard 'valva' items?

I "forgot" about taking it easy on new discs and pads once and made the 3 Spokes too hot to touch.

Local chavs probably thought you had the latest craze in Neon discs or something.
