[QUOTE="Peter Holmes, post: 144895, member: 302"] A very good friend of mine (sounds like the intro to an agony aunt column) is having a very special Vincent built from scratch, he has posed me the question “what is the opinion of the 8” 4 X leading shoe brakes that are advertised in MPH” I have no idea of how good or otherwise they are, on looks alone I prefer 7” brakes, and as we know the excellent but recently discontinued brakes manufactured by Vincent Speet are well tried and tested. Has anyone had any experience of these German manufactured brakes, they certainly look the part if you don’t mind the increased diameter. Any opinions would be gratefully received and I will pass them on. [/QUOTE]
