does their price of £210 include the bell , or is it just the rotor?

they compare to the Alcon ones which are about £205 incl Vat and delivery, plus our discount , except they weight 4.1Kg for 295mm

Just the rotor and fixings, the bell would need to be sourced elsewhere

I was hoping they were going to be cheaper to be fair, so was a bit dissapointed when they came back with that price - they did say they'd knock 10% off for 5+ pairs

Well back from the meeting at Hofmanns, its very nice stuff, no compromises on anything , titanium bobbins , proper high grade alloy bells and some beautiful machining. Just needs Chris to give them the final okay before anything official. Also picked up a set of carbon lorraine rc5+ pads

yes , standard AP 2pot. Will also be fine with the Alcon upgrade , in terms of swept areas and clearance to bell fixings

I've created a seperate thread as these can be used on standard brake setups too, with price details , easier to search for

They've sent me some pictures of their new wishbone bushes, they should retail for around £295+VAT a set (price wasn't confirmed when I enquired)

I think I'll have to wait for some reviews before spending that sort of cash tho!


PS - Sorry for going OT :blush:
