Could someone provide me with some photos of AB and AC discbrakes?

I THINK I HAVE AC BRAKES, BUT NOT ENTIRELY SURE!

HOW CAN I TELL? :cry:

Well... I measured the discs with a steel rule through the mags, I couldn't be bothered removing a wheel... :lol:

APPROXIMATE MEASUREMENTS:
21mm - Thick
260mm - Diameter
55-60mm - Actual pad surface width.

It seems to be in between the measurements...
Would this suggest AB or AC brakes?

probably AC, and if the thickness is correct, then the rotors are undersized and need replacing.

Remove the wheel and check properly...... if you have some verniers or a micrometer, they are better to accurately check thickness.
