    Hi all, sorry if you have all seen this question before,

    I would like to upgrade the brakes on my 82 Turbo forks, I don't want to do a complete front swap, I am aware of the caliper adapters, a couple of questions please

    • is there a straight swap bolt on caliper upgrade option
    • is there a larger disc option which fits the std wheel mounts to match blue dots and adaptors?
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated,thanks and regards Richard

    I prob should have clarified that while I absolutely agree that the stock brakes are somewhat "lacking", I elected to stay with the stock setup....at the cost of needing to have a forearm reminiscent of Popeye's! I just have to be real careful if I ride it then my modern bike, back to back!
