Anyone managed to order any of the budget priced Tektro components from any where Down under? Specifically I'm trying to get some longer reach (47->57mm) dual pivot brake calipers. Shimanos BR-R600's are probably price overkill for the bike I'm wanting to put them on.

Plenty of the US posts seems rife with how easy Tektro are to get stateside - but my LBS said they weren't able to find an Aussie distributor.

Failing that - any online stores that ship to Australia that's likely to carry them?

hey again,
i'd try shifterbikes (www.shifterbikes.com, or thereabouts) in melburn. i was after some new brake levers and dan there said he had tektros. 45 bucks a set. i think they do some cross bike work, so might be possible for you.

Why bother? For a few bucks more you can get MUCH better brakes. I run tektro's on my training bike, and while they function they certainly ain't no Ultegra or Dura-DisgrAce.

I say again....

Shimanos longer reach BR-R600's are probably price overkill for the bike I'm wanting to put them on. It is just a hack machine, albeit with a few newer parts.
