I'm Building up a bike and require a long reach front brake caliper, it has to be long enough to accommodate a 68mm drop, so something like a Tektro R559 or similar would be perfect. Recessed fitting preferred or maybe a rear nutted version could fit?

Clockwise

I have a pair of tektro R365 brakes(55-73mm drop) I planned to put on my gfs bike I'm building up but it means drilling so I'm considering rebuying nutted ones instead(and silver instead of the black these are).

They cost me £20 I think as an impulse buy before thinking about the fitting, £15 for the pair?

Let me know and I can cycle them to most places in london for you.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
