ya drum brakes are better.. when raining the rear disc brake feels weird. and also might prone to disc wrap. then when u brake or push your bike, sounds like bus braking... and i dun trust aftermarket disc brakes. IMO.

hmm.. so just change to oversize disc brake, caliper for the front will do? so the rear is kinda no point? stick to stock?

stock rear disc brake more braking power... till wheel lock easily... especially with stock footrest... i dunno about aftermarket ones... don't really have confidence in them. and given our rainy weather... drum brake perform better. thats my opinion after riding cub kia with drum and disc brakes..

[pyro13]

it will affect pickup as the thing is heavy mah..

 

i read before a forumer said tat it will cause the weight to be heavier

if using drum brakes and racing footrest, the drum brakes will not be as effective as of using stock footrest right?

using racing footrest will affect the braking power, no matter disc or drum. maybe it affect the drum brakes more.

if u use racing footrest with drum brakes, the drum brakes will have no effect..that's wat my fren encounter...

[lost_soul]

i can say it applies for rear disc brake too. i have to step on the pedal quite hard to achieve the braking power which is only slight tapping when using stock footrest.

 

thats why i change back to stock footrest.

[Man V.1]

yeah stock footrest the best...hehehe!

[lost_soul]

learn things the hard way lor... i spent $250 on my racing footrest. now its lying ard at home.

[Man V.1]

wow so ex ar?? why don't u sell it away??

[lost_soul]

NUI racing mah... furthermore a plug and play model for my bike.

 

dunno. still lying ard. maybe when i sell my bike then sell the footrest together lor.

[Revouis]

hey...if possible add me at [email protected] cann.....i interested in makin frens from sparks..ya wan know more too...my spark lost for 2months n finally back into my hand...

[bubu]

hellio..........................

[kurarensu]

cos spark using stock footrest v.easy to kenna bua on the ground.. so i suppose racing footrest will be harder to kenna the footrest on the ground?
