As I said above the Prolite is without a doubt the very best brake disc avaiable for a tuber running a single set up, period. You can get one from any decent bike shop that is an agent for EBC stuff. Expect to pay around 175 quid for the disc, 32 quid for a new set of 249HH pads and be sure to use new disc mounting bolts. |

 Have you made sure that the caliper pistons are cleaned up regularly so there's no binding on? BTW I know what you mean about the prolite being "flowery" - the carrier design is too busy for such a big disc. Oh - and by way of returning the favour - make sure you get a disc the same size as the original
