    I am trying to remove the callipers and I have taken out the bolt that goes through the frame/fork, should they come off or is there something else holding them on? They are shimano 105

    Probably just stuck with dirt. Give them a small tug.

    Thanks lads, got them off in the end. took about 10 minutes of pulling and dragging to get them off. I was convinced I was going to break something.
