In an earlier post I stated that I thought the stock brakes on the Clasco were at least as good as the Manny version reaction arm disk brakes on the Royale. Now that the pads are fully seated I no longer feel that way. While the stock rear brakes on the Clasco remain very serviceable, the Royale brakes are now noticeably better, especially in aggressive braking situations. I still like the shorter pedal throw on the Clasco brakes to the longer and somewhat unnerving throw of the Royale brakes, but there is no doubt that the outcome is better. I am using the stock MC in the Royale. When a good parking brake solution becomes available I will whole heartedly endorse the conversion to the reaction arm disk brakes.
