bultoboy Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Hi gents, my front brake is in need of a new liner, had a steel one put in the back last year, which is a massive impovment but some one i was talking to at a recent trial suggested cast iron was better for braking performance and only weight a cat wisker more. What do you guys think? james Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullylover Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 Hello James, I am the same as you in that I had a steel liner put in my rear hub and it is great. I think a cast iron liner would end up a lot more expensive because it is a lot harder to work with. I am not sure though. there must be a reason no one has made cast brake hubs for bikes apart from the weight. Bully Lover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
