Front Brake Caliper Needed for Class B Bike
 
Hi Guys & Girls,

Have entered into Castle coombe but my front brake caliper is completely knackered, does anybody have one or know where we can get a hold of one.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Erm, hmmm, Erm,

The mounting bolt centres will be either 65mm or 40mm spacing.

ah ha,

That would be 40mm.

Thanks Ghost, great racing with you at Cadwell, you wouldn't give in around Charlies 2, Mansfield or into the bus stop, thought it was graet you going down the inside of the guy into the bus stop with me going round the outside, I really enjoyed it. I was the naughtly schoolboy wearing the wrong trousers ... I mean tyres, I will be enjoying the pleasues of new spangly correct rubber at CC.

Ah a certain Mr Owen, those tyres stood out like a 60 Watt light bulb. :)
I have never been to Castle in my life so should be interesting. :D

I have a spare 40mm caliper. I live in Coventry away this weekend up L/pool way, or can bring Fri evening to the Castle.

Try Mr Alex Vespa of this parish, I know he's upgrading to a 65mm mounting fork set that I was selling. So he should have a 40mm set going spare if he has changed?

I've got a pair too, with Ferodo CP911* pads if I iirc. I'm near Aylesbury - where are you?

Mods - why isn't the location field mandatory? it would make aswering calls for help a whole lot easier, and thereby make this feel a lot more like a club.

that's because he lit them up, the regular encumbent could only manage a 15 watt display!!
