Title: ABE All bike engineering
Post by: midden on 27 March 2017, 12:53:07 pm: Has any of you experienced brake disks from ABE? UK manufactured (apparently) for the 600 they're priced at £110 each. Surely must be better than going Chinese.
Other options are EBC @ £149 each+post
or
having mine straightened @ £60 pair great option except my disks are measuring 3.4mm

Any thoughts

Post by: robbo on 27 March 2017, 07:50:34 pm: Both of these companies are spot on. I haven't bought discs from either, but ABE rebuilt a rear shock on my GS1150, and Maidstone Motoliner straightened a rim and a rear subframe. Would recommend either.

I currently have all 6 studs on the rear wheel snapped, which now require drilling out

There is ALWAYS ALWAYS one -----= I mean focing ALWAYS
I am convinced that there is a demon in every factory that makes everything, and he sneaks up and gives the bolt/screw one last tweek and the focs off sniggering to himself

They were in process of moving workshops at the time (Nov 2016 ish), I presume their in a big new building now?
