56mm front brake caliper

[jjjrules]

Hi all
I recently bought some GPX forks and the caliper mount is 56mm hole centre to hole centre and I can't seem to find a caliper to suit it - biggest I can find is 51mm.

Anyone know where I can get a 56mm caliper?

I've trolled ebay etc

hey mate dhz have them, are you after the whole brake or just caliper? ken from dhz has the 56mm big piston front brakes he could do a good deal for you

i need a 56mm bracket to mount the red anodized brakes, but ken didn't have any.. might have to give him another email..

where did you buy your forks from?
all the gpx kits on dhz site show the front brake kit

and gpx forks are advertised with 51mm center to center bolt holes

 

[jjjrules]

yep - rang them and emailed them - no 56mm brackets

 

[jjjrules]

got em 2nd hand from a forum member - apparently the 1st series of GPXs were 56mm (lucky me)

 

[sean01]

oh ok. well time to fab up a bracket your self..

 

[jjjrules]

Oh boy - all I need now is the know how!

oh geeeze, fabing up brake mounts sucks

hey j, just replying to your pm, i bought a big piston front brake off ken not long ago and then just had another look at his site and he doesnt sell the 56mm anymore?? biggest he has is 51mm. the gpx have no measurements with it so i have no idea if they would fit. best just to send him an email seeing if he has any 56mm front brakes at all

hey mate i bought the gpx forks off ken and it came with the gpx front brake kit...

fits all fine on my forks, and the brakes are only 85$ from memory and they work pretty good so far

 

[lenny17]

are yours first or second series though dub_88n? he has the 1st series, could you grab the measurements for yours?
