That’s why I went down the cheap brake route. There was no way on earth I was paying for a pair of new rs505 calipers for what is now just a grocery getter. So far 200miles in, they seem fine you can still lock up the rear and do impressive stoppies.
Oh I’m using some old cheapy Tektro discs as well.

Have you found anything better than the standard retaining pins for the pads? I'm used to the sort that screws in and then has a retaining pin, which feels nice and secure to me.

I've fitted the brakes now, but I'm not looking forward to needing to replace the pads ...

I’m looking forward to not having to spend hours looking for that little clip thing that I always drop when I change the pads on other brakes ;) a split pin will be fine.
