Magnusfarce said:Does anyone make a high quality long reach (~50 to 60mm) brake caliper set
for a road bike? I'm looking for something in the Ultegra range for
strength and stopping power, but the best Shimano brake of this type is a
no-name, probably well below the 105 series. Weight is not an issue, and
I'm not interested in using any of the drop-bolt adaptors.
The Shimano long-reach (57mm) brakes work fine. They look almost the
same as Ultegra, although the finish might be a little different.
After replacing the Shimano pads with Kool Stop ones, they are possibly
the nicest brakes I've ever used on any bike.
Nashbar has them on sale right now for $39.95 each: SH-BRKLR.
