Re: hey everyone
I will leave that question to the Geepee experts...... but twin disk is better than one just check the minium thickness listed on the disk & measure to see if they are not worn too much + check the wear marks on the pads to see if they need replacing, the mark is a notch in the side of the pad... if that's gone so are the pads. Learner bikes such as this tend to have a hard life, but with the right maintenance they can easily last till you are ready for a bigger bike.

Re: hey everyone
Hi Kyle, welcome to the forum. Nice bike choice. I live in Maitland, one day we might have to get some Hunter guys and girls together for a ride.
