Hi all,

It seems that these brakes would have enough drop to fit my road bike, I have found by chance the front one (as picture below) and would love to find the matching rear , if someone has one they don't use in their shed somewhere: it does not have to be NOS, but in good condition as this is for my "nice" bike.

Many thanks!

Thanks for that!

My picture is not very good, sorry about that, but this ebay one is not the same, it has an angle at some point in the curve, and it looks like the drop is not as important... I should actually measure precisely the drop on my one...

I've PM'd you - I have one but I think it's a 49mm drop. Let me know if that's any use.

Thanks, I've just measured on the bike, I need 65mm drop.

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.
