I needed long drop brake calipers for a Moulton and tried the drop extenders which worked really well. They're lightish and I didn't find any additional flex, but they let me use nicer (lighter) calipers, than I could find with a long drop.
Temporary bar tape to go. Pro plt -10 stem and sram s900 levers to go on.
Got a decent clearance carbon fork (450g), but need a crown race for caged bearings, which I don’t have in the parts box.
Got some ambrosio pista 165 cranks to go on, but might look a bit odd with a silver chainset, and wondering whether I need to bother with a bash guard like it has at the moment. The guard is currently bashed to shit, so has obviously helped protect the chainring and chain at some point.
Any recommendations for long drop calipers? The ones on at the moment are generic and need some replacement.
