If i...

Post by Jordi » Mon Apr 08, 2013 9:29 pm

So, got me rocklobster. And all the gear to do a rear disc conversion.

Just wondering prior to doing it all, can i fit the rocklobster with the transmission brake minus all the inside bits and still run it?

Then when i do the disc conversion just pop the drum off and put the shoes and bits n pieces in it?

Cheers

I would just leave all the shoes etc in it and either tie the cable up out of the way for now or start using it as your handbrake immediatly and remove the old cables to the rears.

Ah I understand. In which case just leave it on as Scottie said. The drum is basically just an extended flange anyway.
