I'm curious, is there some reason other than price that you guys are using the rotohub as opposed to the separate hub/disk style?

Hello-

Nope, that's the only reason

The other kind is ~$600, whereas this one is <$350.

Take care,

Hello-

Just a quick clarification... it was mentioned to me that I may have been misleading...

No, the kit isn't crap. It's just underdocumented. Just note the break-in period, be wary of it, and all is fine. Otherwise, the kit is fabulous.

Take care,
Shad

I am installing the Rotohub rear kit on my '73 IRS and have a question... Which way up do the calipers go? I thought that the caliper mounts with the spring "on top" of the caliper, is this correct.

Aren't you moving to Oklahoma?

Get used to that buttcrack view...;-)

Yellow, calipers go on with the spring on top... actually what you look for is the bleeder... it has to be at the highest point for them to bleed properly. When you hold it in your hand and flip it back and forth you will see how one way puts the bleeder below the brake line coming in (bad) and the other way puts it above the brake line (good) which just happens to be with the spring on top

So you mean like Baja Oklahoma?

I really can't complain too loud....I was born in Tex-ass.....live in Tex-ass....but spent some formative years in Oklahoma...and went to college at OU.....

. Certain times of the year I have to be careful not to get lynched.

Plastic,
Thanks for the response. I thought that was the correct way for the exact reason you stated, but I would prefer to ask an question now than realize a mistake later.

Plasticfantastic · Post by **Plasticfantastic** » Sun Aug 15, 2004 8:30 pm

Yep, that's exactly how I learned many years ago. Helping a buddy put on a rear brake kit and he knew even less than I did... and we made that mistake, we eventually figured it out and when you do, it seems so obvious.

Funny, that is what I was thinking when I posted but figured I would ask anyway. I appreciate the help.
