    Looking for a pair of ultegra calipers, 6700 or 6800 doesn't really matter, nor do pad conditions as i'll put new ones on anyway if they are bad.


    anyone got any before i order new?

    Last time I checked ribble had the best price on 6800 calipers.

    What shifters have you got?
    I'm nearly sure that 6700 and 6800 levers have different pull ratios.
    So one won't work correctly with the other.
    Newer 6800 calipers are dual pivot.

    It's for a tri bike so it's not standard levers, they are brake levers only. 6700 are dual pivot as well are they not?

    Technically they are but I'm nearly sure thet won't work correctly with 6800.
    The ratio is different.

    if it's 6700 you are after then I have a set of pretty much brand new calipers.
    they are the lighter of the two colour options.
    Can do the pair for 50 with pads :)

    thanks for that, the levers are cannondale oem that came with the slice, so they are neither 6700 nor 6800. i need to check if they will work, given the bike also came with an ultegra version i know it works with one of them.

    let me look into this and as long as they are compatible i'll take at 50

    according to the chart here, 6700 and 6800 are compatible, the 6600 and earlier aren't.

    They will work, but the I have heard that the modulation isn't great.
    However!
    Your slice has bar end shifters and TT levers, so either 6700 or 6800 calipers will work :).

    I'm based out in Tallaght, I dug out the calipers but have noticed that I'm missing a barrel adjuster from the front caliper.

    I'll have a root to see if I can find it.
