lacrits68 Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 hello! Now when stripping my 110 so i decided to overhaul my calipers too! I tooke a look at different retailers and there seem to be calipers to SOLID and WENTED discs! When lookin att them i cant see any difference on thos 2 calipers. whats the difference? I have wented discs on my 110 so i orderd new alike. but can someone explaine the differance and can they be used "cross" like wented discs with solid caliper and vice cersa. cheers Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crwoody Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 I think you'll find the Vented discs are thicker than the Solid ones so the vented disc caliper needs to accommodate the extra thickness. I know there's certainly a big difference between the vented front and solid back ones on my 90. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Solid means the brake disc is just a disc. Vented means the brake disc has a row of cooling slots between the 2 disc faces [the area the brake pads work on] more info here about disc brakes Cross drllied & slotted vented or solid discs can be fitted instead, but the drillings can fill with mud/grit when offroad, your probably better to stay with the LR discs as you know the fit straight on & work without giving any concerns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
