Hey guys,

I'm looking for a set of brakes with a long reach (60cm+) with a traditional nut/washing fitting. Something like a set of Tektro R556 maybe?

Thanks!

No longer a set unfortunatley, and I think only up to 57mm, but I'm selling a rear Tektro R538, down to just £5 -

Thanks for the offer but I don't think the reach is enough on those unfortunately.

I'm also in the same situation, my old weinmanns are absolutely useless in the wet and I now fear for my life every time I feel a drop of rain.

I've been eyeing up those beautiful velo orange grand crus but freshstripe have been out of stock for a long time.

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.
