    To those of you who have changed the rear disks themselves, which way does the piston need to be rotated before pushing back into the cylinder and is the handbrake easy to adjust.

    Duncanbanana has a very nice set of huuuuuuuuuge rear disks, I think Dinka has his done too! I've got both a disk and pad upgrade, but only wee disks and I got a very nice man to fit them!!
