266mm brakes
Hi guys been searching for yours and just want to clarify, to upgrade to 266mm all you need is calipers, lines, pads, discs and new fluid? What's this things about carriers?

Sure but i thought, well after reading it would be better to change m/c if you went to 283+
Whats the pedal travel like with 266's?
Sorry for gatecrashing Wadoryu. Genuine questions here. lol.
