  • Hello,
    has anybody changed there forks on a Langster to accomodate a front disc brake, if so any chance of some photo's

    Cheers.

  • Google images is your friend.
    this was from the first page of search results for "langster disc"

  • and a hub in 2008 langster colour:

  • The first question is why? Not why do you want a picture - just Langster, disc brake, why?

  • you stop better.

  • Tristoo did this with his Langster- I bought the front wheel from him when I built the sadly missed Hippo.

  • Not sure I'd bother. Disc brakes = PITA.

    IMO, of course.

    Why PITA?

    Fugly most of the time, but I fail to see any downsides to them besides from the aesthetics.

  • PITA.... ???
    i can'tkeep up with all these interweb abreviations.... what the fuck is the one dogs allways uses aswell.....ROFL?
    i'm confused.

  • ha ha...

    Rim brake callipers are easier to maintain, (set and forget). Mechanical discs are shit, hydraulic are a fucking mess. On MTB's I have no issues, but on a langster on London's streets, its just OTT.

    This is not advice, just my humble opinion.

  • mechanical discs are not shit.

    awesome i would go as far to say, i am running a mechanical disc on my new singular fixed,

    if mechanical is good enough for jeff jones they're good enough for me!!

  • i dont like em :p

  • Nowadays hydraulic discs are easier to maintain than rim brakes

    lolz

  • i still dont like them

  • i still dont like them

    They stop you irrespective of weather- what's not to like?

    Wet rims and calipers/canti's do not a fast stop make.

  • i'm still yet to find a quicker way of stopping than i giant fucking pothole.
    30 - 0 in 1 meter
    beat that motherfuckers.

  • I had to look up PITA on the interslice. The "urban dictionary" always helps me but I don't know if it is as urban as someone like Trevor Nelson*

  • PITA = pain in the motherfuckin ass.

    you learn something new everyday.
