An unsprung disc is a race disc only. It is a violent toggle switch which will make your ride a real chore to start off smoothly.

Sprung only man..

Solid is ok but for street use it's pretty violent.
You can get used to it but it will never be as nice as a sprung hub.

I will be going 6 puck, sprung hub by next spring, I'm hoping that combined with a 16v pressure plate will be enough to stop my slipping problems.

Not sure if it's my clutch or linkage, but mine has really been grabbing lately. It's so bad that I stall it quite a few times, that or chirp the tires. :twisted:
