New front brake calipers on Raleigh Sports, with newly built-up CR-18 alloy rim. Yes, I know, it's not exactly C&V, but neither is getting a CT scan because the bike didn't stop properly. Gosh, it's nice to have modern brakes. 30 minutes or less to install, including new cable. I could have made the older one work, but why? Doesn't look bad to me.
This R559 only fits on the front. Need a bigger one (if there is one) for the rear. I think it's call the 800a or 880a or something like that.
Hello tbo,
Looks like you have a nice Sports. I just finished mine and used the Tektro brakes on both ends of the bike. The rear fits just fine and works terrific.
