    Hello,

    Looking for a set of 26 inch disc brake compatible wheels (and tyres) and/or disc brake calipers/levers for 160mm rotors (either mechanical or hydro).

    not sure about that either, will have to do some research. How much you looking for them if I can get them to fit?

    I might wait and see if anything else turns up. Would need to get new levers and mounting adaptors to make them work it seems, cost and effort mounting up.

    I've a set of wheels, Deore hubs on Mavic rims, with rotors and tyres/tubes if you need them.

    How much?
    I'd like €60 for the wheels, a tenner for the tubes & tyres and a tenner for the Sram cassette if you wanted them.


    If you're happy with €80, I'll chuck in a pair of 160mm rotors with them. I also have a set of formula hydraulic brakes, one works but needs servicing, the other has a part of the lever missing, but would work with that replaced. Can have those for a tenner as well as they're just sat gathering dust. Can send pics of it all if that's any use

    These are good value if you're building up a run about, if you're going trail riding, best to get a 180mm rotor up front.

    You'll need cables and levers too. If you go Hydro, then measure up your frame before buying anything as cutting hose you'll need special tools and re-bleed. Have a look on CRC hydro might work out cheaper but careful with length.

    I don't think I need rotors or a cassette as there are some in my spares box.

    Interested in the wheels, tyres, tubes and brakes though. What part is missing from the lever? Like is it actually something that can be bought as a spare reasonably enough? Pictures might help indeed if you have some.

    No problem on the rotors or cassette,I can ping you some pictures if you'd like to let me know your email?


    One of the brake levers is missing the rod that pushes the piston - I guess it'd be available somewhere (probably Ebay) and there's one in the working brake to compare to, worst case there's a working hyd brake and spares for €10 :)


    Can possibly deliver depending whereabouts you are too.
