    never had any experiance with the kit...but...

    ive owned a speedy 50LC since 2002...and from what i can see theres not a great deal of room to increase the size of the brakes, as the disc and caliper is inside the wheel so to speak...

    Because of that silly single side swing arm at the front :(

    im thinking of putting vivacity forks on mine...but i guess an engine would be handier 1st :pimp:

    with the caliper supplied with the kit,i can use a 210,m/m disc,but i have to make a new bracket and disc. im just using the disc with std. caliper for now..i dont really mind that it dont fit, cos half the fun is making it fit, and making it better :D

    if you wanted a slightly bigger disc mate you should use a vivacity caliper and disc and maybe do the fork conversion :pimp:
