That surprises me. Everything I have ever heard/read gave the 4LS as the
better brake versus the 2LS. Look at the cost of the Grimeca.
I see discs as inappropriate on my ambassador, but they would have the
better braking power and would allow ABS ($$$$).

I do know I had lug welded on fork slider for second back plate & even though it was done by a welder I'd rate as "artist" the tube was slightly distorted & hindered travel of stanchion. Loads of fettling! Having ridden several Loops with the 4 leading shoe & 2 leading shoe, I found that best braking in all cases was with 2L. Don't know why, all seemed adjusted OK. My own 4LS does nothing for a while after application then attempts to lock the wheel when you don't expect it!! Total bastard in the wet. Give me discs any day. cookie 4LS looks cool though. |
