Hi

I'm looking for a long reach rear brake caliper - about 70mm - for use on a project which is using 700c wheels in an old 27" wheel frame.

This is for my first single speed build project, but just looking for one that is cheap as poss as the frame is nothing to write home about.

Thanks

I have an old weinmann centrepull rear brake you're welcome to have. I think its max reach is 75mm. If you're interested, I can bring it into town one day this coming week.

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

> 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.
