Hi,
Noticed that the minsters brakes seem to function very well....too well.
She will lock up very easily. I am runing on 5x12 minilites with good yokos.
I thought about uprating the brakes but doesn't that simply mean that she will lock up even more?
I supose disks on the rear will help, Is this an easy conversion for a sort of mechanically mided person?

Can't wait to get some copper grease to stop that teeth pulling sqeel. Do I slop it oll over the back and sides of the pad only?

Discs are pointless on the back of a Mini. It already has too much braking power under its bum. Which end locks up?

Apols, meant to say, its the front that locks up under pretty moderate braking at lowish speeds (40 and above I guess). it is probably just the way of the mini.
Intrested to see how folks ease the problem though.

Where might i find the adjuster? I assume it is the front rear balance?
