Hulsroy's Hustle

Don't know the actual reach, but 5800 is officially spec to clear 28c tyres. Where previous Shimano road calipers max out at 25c officially.
So probably would not be exactly the same.

Arhhh shite. Thought that might be the case.
I might need shiny tektro brakes then

If not tektro could look at TRP 957

Or if needing only 50mm of drop you could use the silver R7000 calipersa

Ahhh dope. I thought the TRPs only came in black.
The finish on the 105s is not VMB enough.
I have been looking at the Shimano BR 650s

VMB?

Do you live under a rock?

I might have a set of BR650 in silver for you. Need to check if I can get away with R8000 with mudguard and 28s on my Equilibrium frame coming from @Manson7am

Do you live under a rock?

In Aberdeen.... so yes? A granite rock

Ha! Well played...

Are they matte or polished silver?

Not 100% sure, but sadly I think it may be matte.

Will pull them out of the parts bin when I'm home on Sunday and let you know.

Ta!

TRP 957 are £100 in Condor. Which is a bit above budget but they do look nice

Frame looks amaze balls.

I've got some 957's spare but they're black, if you want shiny maybe VO?

Not cheap mind...

Yeah. TRP seems like a bit better value. I need polished silver or else I would stick with my modded 5800 in black which have been amazing.

i'll get my coat ..

BLB also do those and for a bit cheaper

£60 each

They also rebrand VO guards. I have a pair and the BLB badge is just stuck on

But fuck BLB

well played

I’d be interested in the black ones. Wanna shoot me a pm?

@hulsroy what about the center pull paul racers with normal mount? Set on here for sale. Very VMB.

On its way.

Yeah they are dope but I need silver. Going to run silver ritchey classic

I don't do BLB

<3

Let me know if you ever turn single

They also rebrand VO guards

Those don't look quite like VO mudguards, the chainstay end looks different and the front one is too short. At the very least they've been modified.

My 7800’s clear a gp4000s2 in 28mm that actually measures 31.5mm just fine.

That's why I'm playing it safe by saying "officially" haha!

Today's tinker
