Subject: Spiegler brake disks are crap!
Hi,
yesterday I mounted Spiegler brake discs on my second wheel set. It was a
bad experience:
- First the Ferodo brake pads did not fit into the breaks. They are 1mm
thicker than original Honda ones
- Second the discs itself are 1,8mm thicker than Honda original ones.
This results in that the discs are not mountable with the Ferodo pads.
If you mount them with the original pads, then the discs get damaged after
a few km, because the piece, in which the brake pads are mounted
(schwimmend gelagerte Bremszange) moves so wide towards the wheel, that the
disc gets damaged (because the disc is so thick and the "Bremszange" is
tightend in a way, that it moves when the pads wear out)).
I phoned with Spiegler today and they asked me to send the parts in. I'll
do tomorrow and whish me luck that I get my money back.
What do we learn from this: There is nothing better than genuine Honda
parts for our beloved... But we have to pay for them :-(
take care - Marcello.
