Alpina Wheels + Brembo 4pot/4pad Setup - Ducati.ms

May 13th, 2007, 11:00 am

Attached are some images of ALPINA Tubeless Spoked Wheels with BREMBO 4Pot/4Pad calipers. Additionally the stock brake and clutch pumps were replaced with Ducati 1098 Radial Pumps.

Installation was very straight forward.

1. Remove 4 mm shim between disk and hub.
2. Install new calipers
3. Install new pumps
4. Install new brake lines
5. "connectorize" brake and clutch switch electricals
6. Bleed systems

Compete details for installation will be available soon as well as a COMPLETE "parts list" and approximate costs for components.

How do they perform? Direct quote from my dad, "...stops on a dime and gives you 9 cents change."
Hopefully today I will have an opportunity to put this new setup through its paces.

Pads are what came with the calipers and I will have more information soon on their composition. I also have a set of Casuno's Ceramic Carbon Brake pads that I will be testing soon.

Total installation time = about 2 hours.

I think you forgot to mention that the stock wheels will bump into the Brembo where as the Alpina wheels do not.
