Hi
This may be a dumb question.
Can I replace my brake discs with ones that are not specific to the make of the calipers as long as they are the same size/bolt comnfig?
I have a claud butler cape wrath disc with quad qhd1 brakes, but am finding it difficult to find pads and discs to fit.
My front disc is warped and I need to replace it, and I want to change my pads at the same time.
If I can get better quality discs/pads, I will change front and rear.
Has anyone got any experience of these brakes?
Cheers
Andy

    You can straighten warped rotors & pads (&parts) are available from Raleigh.

    Thanks
    I am not sure if I can straighten it myself as I've not done it before and might just make things worse. The raleigh website is a bit rubbish and does not make it clear if they make the size I am after.
    I guess I will have to hunt around raleigh stockists.#
