I want to get a good front caliper installed on my State Undefeated. I'm sure the stock set that came with the bike is adequate, but since I'm only upgrading the front I figure I might as well spring for something nice, but nothing crazy. I'm thinking no more than $100 for the caliper, cables and lever. I'm using FSA Omega compact drops but I want a lever on top like the ones used for flat bars. I like the idea of the Dia Compe Shot lever which has 2 levers in one that both work on the same brake.
Dia-Compe Gran Compe Shot lever | Retrogression Does this work on any caliper? Will it fit my bars? As for calipers I've found you can get a Dura-Ace BR-7800 for around $50 new. How do these work for the kind of fixie/track bike I'm using? So many options, so many brands, so many types of brakes and levers. I'm really in the dark on this stuff. I would be eternally grateful for any opinions, tips or suggestions. Thanks!
