You're probably alluding to that Speedway kit....
Kind of an apples to oranges comparison. Just looking casually-
Fixed calipers always outshine sliding calipers in terms of performance and pad longevity.
Use of bearing adapters displays a lack of technical expertise akin to trying to cram round pegs into square holes. And rubber brake hoses..... we're not even going there.
And where the "rubber meets the road," I've heard from a user of that kit
that after replacing the cheap bearings provided, he was up $100. He also
had to chuck his spindles in the lathe and knurl them and "glue" the bearing adapters into place as well.
Speedway's kit might appear more economical, but what's the real price of
installation?
