fork out for pads, the disc brakes aren't famous for there handbraking capabilities.
Hey just wanting to get the low down on adjusting disk brake rear to lock when handbraking .

Yeah I've heard that several times.
looks to be the only way though huh ?
Even with the pads are the handbrake capabilities anywhere near that of the drums ?
works for the D1 guy's!! drums will always be a more effective handbrake than disc's.
i've never had/used a disc brake rear end so unfortunately i can't give you any advice! someone on here would be using a disc rear and drifting.
who'd be that someone ?
anyone have advice as I could source a t18 rear easily enough .
Cheers gilly .
I use a disk rear and it works fine. Quite often its not the breaks thats the problem, but your technique. Drums will lock up easier in a straight line, but if you add a little flick of weight shift at the right moment, it will make all the difference.
Yeah I sussed that part out but I don't always want to have to rely on the flick also ...know what I mean .
does anyone use the prodject mu pads ? ?
any feedback ?
I have used Mu pads on the rear, D1 spec or whatever theyre called. Bite niceley, but are a bit squealey for the first couple of months. I would buy them again.
do they bite in a straight line ? ?
how does the drum rear hold on the track???? cause i know disc are better for track due to it can be ventilated. ???
sorry for stealing the thread
