Ive had the front brake caliper holder snap off but that was because i had the front wheel off the night befor and forgot to tighten the bolts back up and thus when riding the next day one fell out and the caliper swung around and locked up on the wave rooter and snaped , no biggie i took it off and kept on riding...

I got one of my mate to order a new holder but the shop ended up getting a whole caliper and piston it ended up costing me $125 coz i had to buy the whole thing, not just the mount :(

They are only a cast alloy item so make sure they are done up.

i dont run brakes on my 50.... saves the problems of them falling off and makes riding alot more exciting.. i also have a thump 110

Thats probably the best tip on mini maintenance "Keep it Tight".

[rm_ash_80_125]

exxept when u over tight them all the thrid comes out and u have to re thrid them or buy a hold new thing that u broke

yeh the best thing with all bikes in regular check ups
