WTD: Good brake Calipers

c50

brand doesnt matter much. the build is record 10 spd so black record ones would be ideal if the price is right but i would consider shimano, fsa, trp and so on just not sram ones (i find them piss poor for caliper quality)

Can pay for postage, living 5 minutes from cork city on northside.

its the last thing on my new bike build that i need bar a couple of things im waiting on already in the post so need a pair one way or another but doesnt seem to be much advertised!

I have a pair of these in black. I have almost new brake pads but no brake shoes. I can take a pic if you 're interested.

howare ya, sorry wasnt on the computer for a while. link not working for me. i know with the px calipers that theres cnc and non cnc. which ones are they, are the springs in good working order? whats your price?

AstraMonti

They are the CNC version, everything is in excellent working order as they were on the good bike, so not huge miles on them. No scratches or anything, apart from marks where the brakes shoes were on. 70euro.

As I said, you'll need to get brake shoes.

sorry for my slow replies, im just not getting on the computer much lately. honestly, are they any good? what would you compare them to?- lets say shimano lines because its easy to follow.obviously lighter but as goes braking power,,any idea? they look immaculate for sure..you ever in cork? reviews dont seem bad for such a light set of calipers

AstraMonti

Well I can say that they don't have the stopping power of dura ace brakes but they are fine, they also much lighter than all stock brakes. Used them last year in the Pyrenees and they were more than grand on the huge descends. I only changed them because I wanted something even lighter.

Sorry never in Cork.
