Stelvio Brake Discs
« on: April 24, 2024, 10:07:06 AM »
My L/H disc has become wobbly on the central web, the manual says 0.15 mm side play maximum, when I checked I had over 1.0 mm, more worryingly it has rotational movement on the web.  Rattly discs are not uncommon on a lot of bikes but my R/H disc is like new, mileage is 27,000 and the L/H disc should have been replaced ages ago.  I tightened up the rivets woith a hammer and a socket over the retaining washer which helped a lot but its getting worse again.  On looking for replacements, genuine discs seem to be out of stock, EBC replacements are £185.00 each and I would need both but a general internet search brought up a Chinese company theat makes discs for a range of bikes including Guzzis.  These are £140.00 a pair, much more reasonable, they have stainless rotors with alloy webs and look very nice, they also have 10 rivets rather than 6 which also seems a good idea.  Has anyone come across these, if so are they good or bad or any other comments?  These are sold via Ebay but a search on Ebay did not find them, I had to use Google which gave me a link to the Ebay page and that took me to their shop, the company is WUXI THAI RACING TRADE CO LTD.  They list discs for a vast number of bikes, a lot of Italian one and seemingly most of thre bigger Japanese ones.

Personally, I would acquire Ducati take-offs from eBay rather than buying new CCC.

Guzzi shares the same Brembo parts bins as Ducati, and those Ducatisti are always upgrading and selling off perfectly good brake parts.
