Hi LFGSS.

Hope you're well.

I'm after some brake calipers front and rear, with a drop up to a max 57mm. Must have nut fitting, ie not modern recessed type.

Thanks muchly, Zed.

I've some old Weinmann ones, how is the drop measured though? With the brake block right at the bottom of the caliper, measuring from the bolt to the middle of the brake block is 55mm.

One is missing a couple of bits though (nut, barrel adjuster and cable clamp) but you can get them from Halfords for pence.

Any good?

I was that person. I've got some good Weinmann centrepulls, with all bits and bobs, going if you're not still after sidepulls. Photo here

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:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
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

> Quote text by starting lines with >

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

```

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