Good one there. Nothing like discs to stop a moving vehicle quick!The Wheel was a great invention; Two Wheels with a Motor in between was even better!

This looks like an extremely dicey setup to me. What sort of welding is that?
Your best, most cost-effective option is to replace the lower tubes with that of a Pulsar and simply use the Pulsar paraphernalia to make it work. To me, using the alloy wheels isn't as important of getting the job done right.Comment

That'll be TIG welding and if done correctly the setup can be safely used. In rare cases you'll have a warped fork-leg or in the worst case scenario...it'll snap off under heavy braking.Kriss : 15.06.1981 - 11.10.2009

How come you guys know so much! Don't tell me you are a professional welder. They do not come writing English the way you do!Originally posted by gsferrari View PostThe Wheel was a great invention; Two Wheels with a Motor in between was even better!

Ken da... these fork legs are aluminum and afaik the only options with aluminum are TIG and Riveting. I think there are also some chemical bonding agents but those are probably not applicable in this case.Originally posted by ken cool View Post

Add MIG welding to the list.Originally posted by gsferrari View Post
That setup looks OK, but nothing stronger/better than riveting when it comes to Aluminium. There's a reason even the aircraft industry rivets aluminium parts together

I m also in dicey situation before testing this disk brake conversion but after riding some time it gives same confidence as other disk unit.No rattling, squeaking or screeching sound from any part and brake feel is same progressive as Galdiator's disk set up.This is the cheapest disk brake conversion by cost wise and U have also Drum brake set up as back-up
when there is problem in disk set up.

Thats True DADA its very efective when comes to braking, and i am more confident now.Originally posted by ken cool View Post
Yes you are rite sir, the set up would soon be changed to the Pulsar Setup. this is just a trail thing and all stuff is on returnable baises. and regarding the alloy wheel its just that i like alloys and kinda not into the Spokes.Originally posted by nirvan View Post
Hmm Mr. Farrari please dont say that i know what may happen but i would not like to look at it rite now cause this is not the first setup that has been done by him this way. and as i said he has always been more concerned about the safety. i know this not cause he said that stuff to me its cause that he did not take a lot of jobs where the customer was not confident but he wanted to get it done.Originally posted by gsferrari View Post
This is TIGOriginally posted by nirvan View Post
Yes sir riviting is a good option may need to look into it but then again that i would not be using this setup for long. what my plan was to weld another peice of aluminium on the either sides of the mounting to make it stronger.Originally posted by rossiter View PostAdd MIG welding to the list.

Thanks a lot for the feed back. i think that the disk still has to come to its full potential it is still giving a faded effect is what i feel.Originally posted by c_sbk View PostI m also in dicey situation before testing this disk brake conversion but after riding some time it gives same confidence as other disk unit.No rattling, squeaking or screeching sound from any part and brake feel is same progressive as Galdiator's disk set up.This is the cheapest disk brake conversion by cost wise and U have also Drum brake set up as back-up when there is problem in disk set up.
