NA6 and NA8 brake calliper size

Postby plohl » Mon May 09, 2011 1:48 pm

Haven't been able to confirm anything so thought i would ask.

NA6 and NA8 brake callipers are not the same are they? The NA6 take a smaller pad? or is it the same calliper with a different mounting bracket?
Cheers,

My understanding is they are slightly different although you can mount an NA6 caliper to an NA8 sized disc by using the NA8 brackets.

So it would be correct to assume the pads are different? that should have been my question from the beginning.
