New Brakes

A set of these arrived today.

Decided that 3.3mm brake rotor thickness was probably too small and probably contributing to the poor braking characteristics of my bike.  :roll:

Will fit during the next 2 weeks with new pads (any recommendations :?: )

Also, how do you get the discs off.  I don't have a manual and there appear to be some little caps over the rotor bolts?  Where can I get a cheap manual?

the bolts just have little caps pressed on use a knife edge or similar and pry them out
The bolts themselves are allen heads  and are loctited in with blue loctite
they will come out hard so be careful with the aluminum hub

New Gold fren ceramic carbon HHH pads arrived today and so they got fitted post haste with the new rotors.  :D

WOW, isn't it good having brakes that work.  

I can't really tell how they compare to Steamer brakes because mine were shot, but my initial feel is that they are good.  Nice initial bite and good lever feel.  No dead feeling at the lever.  Very good value for money rotors, and probably greatly assisted by the pads, which are top notch.
