  Disc Brakes

  Disc brake systems

  Disc brakes give better stopping power on a bike, and can therefore increase the riders confidence

  Previously these brake systems were more commonly used on mountain bikes they are now becoming mainstream on road bikes too

  Here we list disc brake systems by:

  • Hope
  • Shimano

  Components e.g.

  • disc brake calliper mounts / adapters
  • disc brake pads
  • disc brake rotors

  can be found in different sub-categories

  Disc Brake Miscellaneous

  Miscellaneous disc brake bits and pieces

• 

  Disc Brake Mounts

  Disc Brake Mounts / adapters from Hope, Shimano and Intense

• 

  Disc Brake Rotors

  Disc Brake Rotors from Hope, SRAM and Shimano

  One of the best ways to make your bike stop better is to increase the rotor / disc size - you will also need the appropriate mount adapter to allow for the bigger disc (and your brakes need to support the larger size)
