Was going to buy a pair of rival calipers from fudges but thought I'd see if I could get more bang for my buck second hand.

Needs to be in relatively good condition and preferably black, dual pivot and modern/industrial/ugly looking.

Cheers,
Roy

I have a pair of Tekro Quartz R740's, in black for £25. The are lighter than the Rivals, as well as lighter than the Ultegra and Dura Ace.(Google it and you'll see the weights) I've used these on my Specialized Roubaix Expert, for the last year. I've splashed out on a Campag groupset(minus the chainset) and they have been gathering dust for the last month. They are a top quality brake-set. Give me a call on; 07723-418684 if you're interested.

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.
