Hi all! I want to put a disk brake on my T5 series 1. As I don’t want to convert the headset for a fully hydraulic system, I’m thinking of buying a semi hydraulic one. There seem to be 3 semi hydro kits available. Which one is best? Also, I’m also interested in the rear disk brake made by SIP as well. Has anyone used one before ? which is better the front disk or rear disk? Thanks a lot!

if you only use a rear disc you will probably just skid to a stop everywhere and spend a fortune on rear tyres which are hassle to change with the sip rear disc setup.use any front disc setup available through sip and you then enable yourself to stop efficiently.brake at the same distance from junctions as you did before & you’ll find cars overtaking you to get to the junction coz you stop qtr of a mile too far away.they stop you like a customs officer with you wearing a cannabis t-shirt returning from amsterdam(which incidentally is a bloody silly thing to do)
