Trade: Brake Caliper

Hello, i'm after a shorter reach front brake caliper.

Been running this or a while, everything was good.

http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=27807#ProductDescription

I then snapped my frame, swapped all the components over onto new frame, and the reach is too long, my brake pads are now ruining my braking surface on new front wheel. It's at the highest position the caliper will allow, and barely touching my machined Deep V.

Does anyone have the same one with a 49mm reach that they'd be happy to swap or anything similar and decent, or any suggestions?

Many thanks,

DM

Going to hold out for a trade, but if unsuccessful will consider selling for no less than £30.

Thanks

Hello,

Resurrecting this as i've just trued my front wheel, and really don't want to keep braking on the mostly non-machined part of my rim. Anyone got anything to help me out?

Caliper is used but runs fine and am still willing to swap for a better reach caliper.

Thanks,

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

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