As it says on the tin, looking for brakes with a drop of 55mm, ideally silver.
Looking to upgrade some spongy Condor-branded Tektros.

Bit of a bugger but Shimano BR650 seem to be the ones to go for but sold out everywhere...
TRP RG957 also rated but 2/3 times the price!!

Any help appreciated, cheers.

I've used both. I don't think the Shimano is much of a performance upgrade. Is it possible you need a new cable?

Hmm, yes and no - I replaced the rear one recently and didn't notice much difference.

I could also just look to upgrade the pads and see if that helps - maybe the best first port of call.
