These have come straight off a newly ordered PX road bike.

Removed from the bike and in perfect condition, haven't even touched a rim yet.

Black Pair Shimano BR-R561 - these are often used on 105 bikes, very similar only different finish.
- Light action and accurate brake power
- Adjustable toe-in brake shoes Cartridge brake shoes
- Anodized surface
- Compatible with STI and brake levers that are Super SLR enabled.
These retail for more but cheapest I can find is £28-30 for a pair plus shipping online, so £25 delivered in London?

potential dibs. ha.

need to work out what Super SLR enabled means, but don't let that stop anyone else from dibsing in the meantime. TBC.

I think it's to do with the amount the levers pull the cable through - older SLR will pull it through presumably a shorter distance, so will be less effective than Super SLR which will pull more cable and therefore the pads better contact with the rims.

More than welcome to just try them out and see if they work well..

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:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
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
