    no mate the brakes are fine but that particular rox belongs to andreas gustaffson, a pretty big stunter from sweden i belive (correct me if wrong) so obviously he needs a good back brake for lots of hardcore wheely action ;) check him out on youtube, hes shit hot

    just make up a spacer between the disc and the hub and use slighly longer bolts if needed , should be fine , disc looks mean though :punk:

    you can make any bracket fit, just requires alloy and a bit of patience.

    one of those pics up there is my bike with a modded bracket.

    we get loads of cool brakes/wheels/suspension here in taiwan plus its cheap too!

    That is completely the same as the Stage6 caliper. We now know where they get them from!

    holy crap really??

    thats the 2nd cheapest caliper you can buy, its only £55, pretty decent but a wee bit small.

    I guess there's some factory manufacturing these and adding branding to them for Stage6, etc. (OEM?). Maybe even in Taiwan... Hence there available there without the branding.

    well RPM is a big brand here, they make loads of stuff.

    i suspect stage 6 just buy everything from them.... lot of that going on, i got banned from a forum in the states because a certain tuning company were selling average exhausts from china at about £50 and charging well over £100 and saying its their custom design, didnt know they were the site sponser so.... yeah lol

    as for the price i think i did my sums wrong, just under £50 here, but their bigger version costs the same so ummm yeah i'd rather have the bigger one :D .
