ABE All bike engineering - midden - 27-03-17
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

Would've thought 3.4mm is way too thin anyway, not that i would ever consider having them straightened.
Re: ABE All bike engineering - midden - 27-03-17
Yeah 3.4mm is too thin service limit is 3.5mm :\

I fitted an ABE disk to the back of my Tiger. No issues that I can tell.

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.

ABE refurbished two sets of Honda front rotors and re-buttoned them to their carriers for me, terrific job. Their fork stanchions are good too.

Cheers for the comments have just collected a pair from ABE
Now to break through the loctite and get the old ones off.

Good luck with that, it's a horrible job if it doesn't go well
I currently have all 6 studs on the rear wheel snapped, which now require drilling out

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

Bit late I know, but used them a while ago to get a shock refurbed for my wife's CBF500. Did good job, turned it round pretty quick, no complaints.
They were in process of moving workshops at the time (Nov 2016 ish), I presume their in a big new building now?
