WTB: Inexpensive brakeset

cslone · January 12, 2009, 2:45pm

Looking for brakeset on backup/trainer road bike. Something like the Tektro RX40 or SRAM Rival. Black or Silver are fine. Would like to stay away from the “branded” calipers like that already have Cervelo on them, unless there is a way to take that decal off(goof off maybe?). They don’t have to be top of the line, just functional.

Thanks.

I just bought a pair of Tektro R580s brand new on eBay for 50.99 shipped. 6 grams lighter than DA 7800 at 1/4 the price. I haven’t gotten them yet so I dunno their quality of function, but its a deal i couldn’t pass up

I have some old Shimano 105 brake calipers (from the 9 speed era - I think 2002 or 2003 vintage).

Might have a pair of 7800 dura ace for 60 bucks or a pair of scott brakes for like 40

First deal fell through, so still looking. A couple of people PM’d me but I erased them.
