    Looking for a front caliper - skeleton type silver - anything from centaur to record.

    Might take a set of record calipers if the price is right.

    Anyone have anything?

    I know there was a guy that I have bought stuff off before in the UK selling a set of Chorus calipers. I think he was looking for £75. I can try and dig out his email and drop a line if you want to see if he still has them?


    EDIT:
    Sorry...he sold them!

    Don't have any, but is there any particular reason you want Campag? The PX brakes are lighter and equally good as my Record brakes. A bit more tiresome to install but once there no issues at all. And not to mention much lighter :D

    Just to be consistent and not have too much of a frankenbike.

    See the new thread I started, I want a spare caliper for quick changes to normal pads for using alu wheels in the rain.

    What are the setup difficulties on the PX brakes?

    You shouldn't have any problem since the actuation ratio is consistent in both levers/brakes.

    See this pic,

    brakes-6178.jpg

    The little barrel on the left that holds the cable in place is a bit weird to set up correctly and not move around when you pull the lever. Once you figure out though how it works it shouldn't be an issue (or maybe it's my incompetence to even setup the brakes.. :rolleyes: )

    What's the actual weight? 205g is very good! Claimed weight for Super Record is around 270.

    Do they use shimano pads?
