Did you get the bigger rotors for the rear as well? Since having 380mm up front would make the stock rear ones really teeny tiny.

No, only my fronts needed replacing. I sought advice from Zep and the current set up is fine. When my rears are due for replacement, I'll be in touch with Zep again. But for now, all good and brake performance is great.

Big thanks to Zep for all the help, and great to meet in person.

For anyone in doubt, these brakes are super lovely! I'll be reporting back on this thread as I get used to them.View attachment 76053View attachment 76054

It was great to meet you too. Glad you like them, they will get better too as the pads bed in. Look forward to the Lake District tour :)

In a word, yes. Krishna has the rears on his too, also with good reports.

330mm is standard. These are 340mm.

Due to the dims of the caliper we can’t go all the way to 355mm but these are more than up to the job.

The handbrake drum is integrated into the bell.

Fixed attachment only as there is no need for floating on the smaller discs. Straight or curved cooling vanes as per your front discs.

So, the ‘bolts’ on the rears are different from the fronts because the rears are not floating?
Any issues running standard size spacers on both front and rear?
thanks Zep

Yes, exactly that. The bolts themselves are the same, but there are no blocks and washers underneath because if the different fixing.

Zep, are the front and rear bells exactly the same size as OEM? I run spacers on mine and want to continue running those.
